Abstract

As it serves as the outermost layer directly exposed to the surrounding climate, building façade is one of the key factors influencing thermal comfort. Glass is a commonly used facade material in building design due to its ability to allow natural light into indoor spaces and enhance aesthetic appeal. However, if the proportion of glass is not carefully considered in relation to the local climate—particularly the building’s orientation to the sun— it can lead to increased indoor temperatures, negatively impacting thermal comfort. This study examines the impact of facade design, specifically the window-to-wall ratio (WWR) and building orientation, on indoor air temperatures in two case study buildings at Institut Teknologi Sumatera: Building E and the General Lecture Building (GKU). Field measurements conducted over six consecutive days, with hourly temperature recordings, showed that GKU consistently maintained lower indoor temperatures than Building E. This was attributed to GKU’s north-south orientation and its brick facade with shading elements, which helped minimize solar heat gain. In contrast, Building E, characterized by an east-west orientation, a high WWR, and insufficient shading, experienced higher indoor temperatures and thermal discomfort, even with air-conditioning. These findings highlight the crucial role of facade design in optimizing thermal performance in tropical climates, offering valuable insights for sustainable architectural practices worldwide.

Abstract

Nowadays, the times affect the development of the education system for children. Full-time employment parents and the problem of leaving their children unattended and without essential activities are reasons full-day schools are in great demand. The learning conditions for a relatively long time and the various activities implemented in this full-day school affect the need for unique facilities compared to other schools, especially in maintaining children’s concentration in learning. This research uses a literature review, field surveys, and interviews with case studies of Salman Al Farisi Elementary School, a pioneer of full-day school in Bandung with an integrated Islamic education concept. Lighting is an interior architecture element that mainly affects student concentration in the classroom. Due to the existing problems, an interactive lighting system must be implemented in Salman Al Farisi Elementary School classrooms to support activities and maintain student concentration in learning. Arduino devices as artificial intelligence tools have the potential to be used in Salman Al Farisi Elementary School classrooms to create an interactive lighting system. The interactive lighting system required is the adjustable room light to maintain student concentration according to the ongoing activity.

Abstract

Stadiums generally have a lot of access for entrances and exits, this is related to the spectator capacity of the stadium which is quite a lot. The level of ease of user activity with the existing spatial configuration structure is unknown. The adjustment of the softball stadium plan is intended to provide a level of clarity in the pattern of relationships between spaces and a level of ease of accessibility in achieving these spaces. Apart from that, it is also to know and understand the basic movement patterns of users in it. So that the space syntax analysis method is used to find out clarity regarding the pattern of configuration of relationships between spaces in the ease of outreach of activities for users in the stadium. Analysis related to connectivity, integrity and intelligibility patterns can in a descriptive way provide the appropriate picture results in the form of an axial line. The expected result is that the pattern of relationships between spaces for ease of user activity in them feels very far-reaching, especially on the 1st to 3rd floors. There needs to be a clear link on these floors to understand the spatial configuration structure for the users inside. While the floor that has the most optimal quality with an intelligibility value close to 1 is floor 4, where on this floor the range of activities is quite close together and not too wide.

Abstract

The present study addresses the issue of noise pollution in Algeria due to road traffic and the possible preventive means and solutions for its abatement, in order to maintain an adequate sound environment in urban areas, especially next to residential ones. The main objective of this study aims at establishing an initial noise map for the Champs de Manoeuvre residential estate in Guelma; a medium-size city of Algeria, by adopting a research methodology that involved applying a quantitative investigation through carrying out field measurements during the winter and the summer season, three times for one week, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, using a sound level meter to measure and calculate the weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level LAeq for 10min, the statistical level L10, the maximum sound level Lmax, the Traffic noise index TNI and the Noise pollution level NPL. The results obtained from the measurement campaign showed the extent of the noise levels produced from road traffic in the vicinity of the residential buildings in the studied area, emitted mainly from passing vehicles, acceleration and the irrational usage of horns, which led to a LAeq level of 74 dB at the source, thus, exceeding the 70 and 55 dB thresholds set in both of the Algerian noise regulation and the World Health Organization noise guidelines. Subsequently, implementation of the noise mapping technic can help in visualizing the spatio-temporal distribution of noise, in identifying its main sources and black spots in urban areas and in drawing up primary action plans for fighting against this issue.

Abstract

Contracted houses, or landed rental houses, were developed spontaneously by homeowners as the cheapest alternative for renting houses with flexible contracts. Therefore, landed rental homes are not designed to suit the needs of tenants, and several variations will occur in landed rental homes as a form of adjustment for the owner. Adaptation is significant in the process of building a house. However, given the limited time context in rental housing, the adaptation process is interesting to study more deeply. Gresik is a developing district, and the large number of industries in Gresik has triggered many migrants, most of whom are industrial workers and rent houses on site. This study identifies the adjustment of semi-fixed features and analyzes the adaptation pattern in three types of landed rental houses—40, 50, and 60 m2—using the descriptive-qualitative method. The techniques used here are in-depth interviews, on-the-spot sketches, and observations. From the research that has been done, it was found that each type of landed rental houses has their own adaptation pattern. Generality pattern was found in all the three types, while the flexibility pattern was found in the second and third types.
