Abstract

Thermal comfort is a description of the mental satisfaction experienced by humans regarding the temperature conditions in the surrounding environment. Appropriate thermal comfort conditions will have a positive influence on the occupant such as increasing productivity. This research was carried out to determine the level of thermal comfort in classrooms of the Universitas Multimedia Nusantara. There are two methods applied in this study, firstly by measuring indoor air quality parameters, and the second method is by surveying the occupants' acceptance of the indoor air condition. The measurement of indoor air parameters consists of two different methods, those are by installing Internet of Things monitoring systems, and manual measurement. There were 2 classrooms and 1 student lounge surveyed, and the measured parameters were indoor air temperature and relative humidity. The results of the measurements show that the average indoor air temperature of the conditioned classrooms was 26OC and the average temperature of the student lounge during unconditioned was 29OC. With the same condition, the measured relative humidity in the classrooms was found at 55% and the student lounge was at 70%. Regarding the thermal comfort condition, 68% of occupants of Student Lounge felt just comfortable,17% felt very comfortable and 15% felt uncomfortable. The opinion regarding this choice is affected by the sitting position of the respondents. At the classrooms D1509 and D1510, 64% of the respondents felt just comfortable, 28% felt very comfortable, 8% felt uncomfortable, which means that the majority of the respondents felt comfortable.

Abstract

The limitations of conventional non-renewable energy resources raise concerns about sustainability and energy supply security in the future. One of the worrying factors is the carbon dioxide emissions that can affect living organisms' health. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydropower, emerge as solutions capable of minimizing environmental impacts and reducing dependence on limited resources. Therefore, this research will simulate and design a small-scale renewable energy power generation system, particularly solar energy, in the Cilacap region, Central Java. The main components involved in this research include PV arrays, IGBT diodes, and universal bridges, supported by supporting elements such as displays, scopes, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and bus selectors. The technical data used as input are specific to the area. The simulation results show that the direct power generated by one modelled PV array is 221.7 W per hour. This research contributes to optimising small-scale solar power generation systems in the designated area, considering relevant components and parameters to enhance efficiency and sustainability.
