2. Ensuring Thermal Comfort At Indoor Living Space In
Building For Monsoon Climate
Keywords:
Thermal Comfort
Indoor Living Space
Monsoon Climate
Design Tools and Techniques
7. Literature Review
Venetian Blinds
Movable shading device
Provide privacy, visual and
thermal comfort
Standard dimensions- width 2.5
cm, spaced at 2.2 cm vertically,
placed 2.5 cm from the surface
of the glass
8. Double Skin Facade
Two layer window system
Minimizes outdoor wind
speed, increasing pressure,
solar heat gain, noise
pollution etc.
Maintains the same level of
light transmission as plain
window systems
Literature Review
9. Objectives
To control sunlight at indoor living
space in buildings by design tools
and techniques
To maintain desired temperature
and humidity of buildings by design
tools and techniques
To perform software simulation
10. methodology
This research has been executed through major three steps-
Field Survey
Literature Review
Software Simulation
13. Expected Outcome
To get a climate responsive building design solution which ensures
thermal comfort to the building occupants in the context of
monsoon climate
To design outer building facade prototype

Welcome to the presentation. Presented by myself, shohol and my partner, ananya with the cordial instruction of our honourable supervisor Md. Shahriar Hossain sir.
The topic of our research is ‘Ensuring Thermal Comfort At Indoor Living Space In Building For Monsoon Climate’. These are keywords of our research.
Here is the content of our presentation.
At first, let us know what is thermal comfort? It is the condition of mind, depends on various factors such as air temperature, relative humidity, metabolic rate, air speed, clothing etc. But in our research, we will give focus only to air temperature and relative humidity as these are the main controlling factors.
Various design tools and techniques and materials are used to ensure thermal comfort and to control daylight since ages. Here are some examples of these. These are Light shelf, fixed shading devices, movable shading device.
First one is thermal comfort header and the last one is double skin façade. There are Stuctural Insulated Panel (SIP) at the left side, Vacuum Insulated Panel (VIP) in the middle and wood plastic panel at the right side also used as materials.
From all of these, we have selected venetian blinds which gives more advantages than fixed shading devices. Its slats can be positioned at any angle according to users requirement.
The next selected element for our research is double skin façade which gives flexibity to design as per users choice. It can be also used with shading devices for better performance in high rise buildings.
The objectives of our research are to control sunlight and maintain desired temperature and humidity at indoor living spaces in buildings by design tools and techniques. And finally to perform software simulation. _____ will brief the rest portion.
Thank you, shohol. The overall process of research is executed through 3 steps. To understand the methodology, a diagram has been made.
Here are the main steps. At first, a residential building has been surveyed and information about its floor plan and landscape area have been collected. Simultaneously literature review on design tools and techniques and design parameters have been studied. From where, we have selected venetian blinds and double skin façade. Finally software simulation will be done from all the observations. At last a comparison between comfortable range and the result of simulation will be done. If they both satisfy each other, it will be the expected outcome and if not, the process will be checked and adjusted.
These are the summary of what we study and what we get from our study.
We expect to get a climate responsive building design and a typical design of outer building façade prototype.
Here are few references we used to collect information.
