Abstract

Thermal comfort is a crucial factor influencing students’ concentration and behavior in lecture rooms, yet uneven temperature distribution and airflow often create discomfort that affects seating preferences. This study aims to examine the relationship between students’ thermal comfort perception and their seating choices in Lecture Room B.101 at the Architecture Department, Diponegoro University. A quantitative survey method was employed by distributing questionnaires to 26 respondents, consisting of closed-ended questions and one open-ended question, and the data were analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that most students are significantly affected by the direction and airflow from the air conditioner, leading them to avoid seats near the AC unit. Respondents generally prefer sitting at positions farther from the AC to achieve better thermal, humidity, and visual comfort toward the screen. These findings show that thermal perception plays an important role in students’ adaptive behavior in choosing their seats. In conclusion, a clear relationship exists between thermal comfort and seating preferences, highlighting the need for proper airflow management and spatial layout arrangement in lecture room design to support an optimal learning environment.

Abstract

The economic crisis of 2024 led many businesses to use online freelancers, and some of them work from home (WFH). Despite its seeming convenience, WFH has the potential to cause issues related to productivity, physical health, and mental health, primarily due to poorly designed workspaces. Therefore, having a workspace designed to trigger mindfulness can be a solution. This research aims to investigate the workspace design factors related to mindfulness and productivity in the WFH context. The factors and issues data obtained in literature reviews were then analyzed and formulated into a table to show their direct and indirect relationship with workspace design. The study's findings show that the direct relationship is dominated by physical comfort in the physical work environment and mindfulness environment factors. Meanwhile, the indirect relationship is dominated by household characteristics, individual factors, and psychological comfort in the physical work environment. Additional testing is required to support the research findings.

Abstract

Campus buildings in tropical regions are highly vulnerable to elevated surface temperatures due to intense solar radiation and the limited performance of existing thermal insulation systems. These conditions reduce indoor thermal comfort and increase cooling energy demand, particularly in spaces used for academic and administrative activities. The Henricus Constant Campus, as the selected case study, shows indications of uneven heat distribution within several key rooms. This study aims to identify heat spots and thermal insulation weaknesses in the tropical campus building using the FLIR One infrared thermography device. The method involved capturing thermal and visual images in three primary rooms: Lecture Room A.5.1, the Administration Office, and the Faculty Office. Measurements were conducted during midday, when heat intensity typically reaches its peak. Each thermal image was analyzed to observe temperature distribution patterns, detect thermal anomalies, and locate areas potentially experiencing insulation failure, particularly along wall–roof junctions, ceilings, and window openings. The results indicate that Lecture Room A.5.1 exhibits the highest concentration of heat spots, especially on the ceiling and around window areas exposed to direct sunlight. The Administration Office shows several anomalies along wall joints, while the Faculty Office demonstrates a relatively stable temperature distribution. These findings highlight the need for improved thermal insulation to enhance indoor comfort and energy efficiency in the campus building.

Abstract

Indonesia's dairy milk production remains low, requiring imports to meet more than 80% of national demand. Sleman, particularly Pakem District, has significant potential as a dairy cattle center, but limitations in business scale, technology, and sanitation prevent optimal productivity. Meanwhile, tourism in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) continues to grow, opening up opportunities for integrating livestock farming with ecotourism as a strategy for economic diversification and public education. This study aims to design a dairy ecotourism area in Pakem using a tropical architectural approach that is adaptive to the local climate, sustainable, and supports educational and recreational functions. The methods used include data collection, site analysis, space requirements, and precedent studies. The resulting design emphasizes open mass composition, flexible circulation, shaded facades, productive landscapes, and environmentally friendly utility systems. This design is expected to become a model for ecotourism that increases the economic value of livestock farmers, strengthens public awareness of healthy food, and emphasizes the relevance of tropical architecture in the Merapi slopes.
