The UN has issued a policy regarding the achievement of sustainable development goals, among which are to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. One of the contributors to the quality of education is the convenience of buildings as educational facilities. This paper describes thermal comfort analysis in the case study of the LABTEK VII Building on the Bandung Institute of Technology campus divided into 2 cases: the open space in the building’s hallway and the study room in the building. Thermal comfort analysis uses standard thermal comfort analysis tools as a measurement effort. This research was conducted by analysing the indicators of thermal comfort in educational buildings with multiple capacities in temperature, humidity (humidity), and wind speed obtained from Meteoblue and indicators of metabolic rate and clothing of building users. The analysis of these indicators is processed using CBe thermal Comfort and Rayman to produce thermal comfort in the building. This paper presents the highest PET values obtained at 2 pm with PET temperatures reaching 40 ° C, considered a Hot sensation. And in the CBE measurement results, it can be seen that the process of changing indoor temperature from morning to evening is getting higher. From measurements with these two tools, concludes that the thermal comfort at Labtek VII ITB is thermally comfortable.

Bekasi city is one of the largest Jakarta’s satellite cities that is experiencing population growth very quickly, especially in Bantargebang district. Bantargebang has the most population growth rate and is considered as slums as the Landfill Disposal located there. Bekasi is geographically located in the lowlands and experiences a massive growth in industrial and residential activities throughout the year, causing an increase in the temperature of the microclimate in which makes people feel thermally uncomfortable living there. This paper describes the design process of Low-Cost-Apartment (Rusunawa) with Tropical Architecture approach to answer the problem of thermal comfort. This research was conducted by analyzing the impact of application of Tropical Architecture such as building orientation, building configurations, building coverage, vegetations, openings, and materials to create a more comfortable place for living. The design process of these indicators is based on building simulations such as SunHour, CFD (Computational Fluid Design), and RayMan Tools to obtain the ideal design. This paper presents the usage of sunshading on the top 2 floors of each tower, specifically at the north side, and the building configuration with various level of height on each towers to help maximize the air flow within the site in order to reach thermal comfort. From simulations with these three tools, it can be concluded that the thermal comfort can be reached with the application of Tropical Architecture.
