The document discusses climate considerations for the Kedah Royal Museum located in Alor Setar, Malaysia. It describes the average temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind patterns of the area based on data from the nearest weather station in Penang. The architectural design of the museum considers the warm, humid climate through features like high stilts, large openings for ventilation, lightweight materials, insulated roofs, and overhanging roofs to block direct sunlight.
The great challenge to museum architecture lies in providing for the often conflicting uses of the building. On one hand, the important objects in the collection must be preserved, and preservation often requires very specific environments. On the other hand, museums make parts of their collection available to the public, so the environment must be comfortable for people, enabling their movement through the space and providing for their safety.
This is a power point intended to allow groups to talk about space considerations when building or changing their museum building. It is only an orientation and not a complete one but gets staff to understand that architectural space planning is really a common sense narrative that they can accomplish with the aid of a sympathetic architect.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Climate Consideration
Kedah Royal Museum is located at Alor Setar, Kedah. Alor Setar is
located on the West Coast Peninsula Malaysia. The graphs below
show the average monthly temperature, hours of sunshine, water
temperature, precipitation, humidity and wind speed of Alor Setar.
The data is collected from the nearest weather station: Penang,
Malaysia (92.2 KM).

The months August, September, October and November have nice
weather with average temperatures. On average, the temperatures
are always high.

This is the monthly wind speed (meters per second). The windy
month falls on January, February and December.
On average, Alor Setar is a warm and damp place. The architectural
design of Kedah Royal Museum has considered its surrounding
environment and natural phenomenon. In order to tackle the
problems brought by the natural environment, the building was built
on high stilts with good ventilation as well as a large area of louvered
windows which adapts to the circumstances of the surrounding
environment.

4.8.1 Tropical Building Design Consideration in
Kedah Royal Museum
Buildings in hot-humid climate need to be different from those in the
hot-dry climate. Buildings in humid climates are subjected to more
intense attack by insects, and materials rust and decay quickly
compared to other environments. Thus, being situated at a location
with hot-humid climate, Kedah Royal Museum holds the
characteristics of a tropical building.
Fenestration
One of the most important aspects in tropical building is its natural
ventilation. Breezes in high humidity allow people to feel cooler
because of the evaporation from their skin. Breezes also replace
indoor air with fresh air, keeping humidity levels from building up as
people exhale both moisture and heat.
The location, orientation, and plants nearby are intimately relative to
the qualities of natural ventilation. Natural ventilation need to be
shaped to avoid direct sunlight and catch breezes. In Kedah Royal
Museum, the large trees surrounding the building’s compound
provides shade and allows breeze to pass through.
Also, a building need to have breezeways in order to allow aeration.
Allowing many windows and openings helps to ventilate the interior
spaces and this is shown through the design of the Royal Museum
with plenty of openings.

Museum’s Compound

(Lim, 2017)
4. LightWeight Building Material
Building materials are also a key element affecting the
environmental temperature in the building. Light-weight materials
should be greatly used on walls and roof as they do not store much
heat and shed heat quickly. The difference between light-weight
materials and heavy-weight materials is heavy-weight materials
re-radiate the heat they have stored during the day, which keeps the
house hot after sunset. Traditional building materials like wood,
bamboo, grass are cheaper as well as cooler than masonry.
Therefore, being surrounded by forest in the past, the Kedah Royal
Museum was built using timber.
However, these materials can rot and be eaten up by insects easily,
so they need to be used carefully. This further explains the use of
protected timber and masonry as the two building materials that has
been used on the new extension of the Royal Museum due to better
durability and easier to take care.

(Lim Shen, 2017)
5. Insulation
Finally, building insulation is also an affecting factor. Keeping the
attic from atmospheric heat by using vented roofs and insulated
ceiling can allow air to flow up to the roof, out to the vents above.
This allows the roof as well as the interior environment of the Royal
Museum to stay cooler. Reflective foils draped across the rafters of
the roof help to insulate the building as well.
Sun Orientation
After aiming to catch the breeze, the next task is to keep sunlight off.
Windows should be shaded from the sun to prevent the high
temperature brought by direct sunlight into the building. This is
evident through the use of overhanging roofs in the Royal Museum.
