Abstract

The evolution of building openings, particularly windows, has expanded beyond basic functions like light and ventilation to include energy efficiency, aesthetics, and technology integration, influencing user behavior and interactions. However, these interactions remain underexplored. This study examines how windows impact user behavior in Yogyakarta City and Sleman Regency. Using qualitative field observations at 12 locations and 22 window points, interactions were categorized into three types: openings as objects of attention without physical interaction, openings approached with physical interaction, and openings approached with unusual interactions. These categories were analyzed based on physical, spatial, and psychological aspects. The influence of each element was evaluated by comparing the similarities within interaction categories across different cases. The research identified three types of interactions: attention without interaction, physical interaction, and unusual interaction. Findings reveal that window characteristics, spatial context, and psychological perceptions collectively shape user engagement. The study emphasizes the importance of these factors in window design, offering valuable insights for creating more user-centric, interaction-oriented window designs in modern architecture.

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.
