Low Energy Cooling Strategies Through Window Design for Rusunawa Buildings in the Hot-Humid Climate of Indonesia
Natural ventilation in the hot humid climate, particularly the wind-driven ventilation, is believed to be a simple and cost-efficient solution to provide thermal comfort, to promote energy saving, as well as to improve the indoor air quality. Natural ventilation is, therefore, considered suitable to be used widely in the public housings like in Rusunawa. Therefore, it is important to maximize the cooling effects potentials of the natural ventilation, such as through window design for instance. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of various windows and opening configurations on the ventilation performance as well as thermal environment in the Rusunawa buildings through field measurement and numerical simulation. The field measurement was conducted in an experimental building while the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) and thermal environment simulations employed scSTREAM and TRNSYS, respectively. The results show that the window types (e.g. top-hung, casement, sliding window, etc.) strongly influence the ventilation performance inside the units. However, the ventilation performance of one particular window type varies depending on the location of the units. In general, the distributions of ventilation performance in the building could be divided into three regions, which is also associated with the building height, namely upper, middle, and lower zones, respectively. This result indicates that specific window design tailored for particular zone can be one of the solutions to ensure a good and equally distributed ventilation performance.
