Abstract

Adaptive thermal comfort allows users to adapt themselves and their environment to achieve thermal comfort. This research is a literature review of adaptive thermal comfort, which aims to determine comparison to assess the comparison of comfort temperatures and user thermal adaptation behavior from various climatic conditions and ventilation systems. This study found that natural and mixed-mode ventilation rooms were proven to have a wider comfortable temperature range than air conditioning rooms in tropical and non-tropical non-winter climates. The findings revealed the proximity of thermal preferences in tropical and non-tropical non-winter climates in terms of comfort temperature and clothing insulation in natural and mixed-mode ventilation rooms (26.0 ºC and 25.6 ºC, and 0.60 clo and 0.62 clo, respectively). The toughest adaptation is found in winter climates, with high clothing insulation, even when the heater is turned on. Clothing insulation is negatively correlated to operative and comfort temperatures. Through the discovery of wide comfortable temperature ranges in naturally ventilated rooms and the increasing interest in adaptation to windows and fans, air velocity has the potential to be an energy-saving strategy to achieve thermal comfort.

Abstract

Fenomena urbanisasi yang terjadi di berbagai kota di Indonesia telah mendorong pertumbuhan penduduk dan pembangunan yang berlangsung sangat cepat. Dampak dari kondisi ini adalah terjadinya pembangunan di wilayah pinggiran kota, yang dikenal sebagai urban sprawl. Fenomena tersebut tidak hanya menyebabkan penggunaan lahan menjadi tidak teratur dan kurang optimal, tetapi juga mengakibatkan berkurangnya ruang terbuka hijau akibat alih fungsi lahan pertanian menjadi kawasan terbangun yang pada akhirnya berpotensi menimbulkan dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deduktif kuantitatif yang bersifat preskriptif dengan cara melibatkan teori compact city sebelum melakukan analisis tingkat kekompakan rencana eksisting kawasan melalui perhitungan terkait atribut – atribut compact city. Secara keseluruhan, hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kekompakan kawasan Bukit Halimun berada dalam kategori cukup. Namun demikian, masih terdapat dua aspek penting yang perlu ditingkatkan, yaitu kepadatan penduduk yang masih tergolong rendah dan sistem transportasi umum yang tergolong buruk.

Abstract

This study analyzes the microclimate conditions of the Simpang Lima Pendopo area and evaluates the effectiveness of three levels of design intervention—20%, 40%, and 60% optimization—in improving the thermal comfort of public open spaces. Simulations using ENVI-met were conducted at 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, and 5:00 PM to assess air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and PMV values. The results indicate that the existing conditions are still influenced by the dominance of hard pavement, minimal vegetation, and limited ventilation, resulting in high thermal discomfort. The 20% intervention has limited local impact, while the 40% scenario begins to improve heat distribution and comfort in pedestrian paths. The 60% scenario proved to be the most effective with a temperature decrease of 3–4°C, stable humidity, improved micro-ventilation, and PMV reaching the “warm–comfortable” category. The combination of three layers of vegetation, reflective-permeable materials, and water elements proved to be able to reduce heat, reduce hotspots, and create even thermal comfort. These findings confirm that large-scale vegetation-based interventions and surface management are effective strategies for improving microclimate quality in tropical urban areas.
