Room temperature is one of the problems in everyday life that is often discussed. One of the tools in regulating the temperature is Air Conditioner (AC). As is known, that the AC work process in cooling the room is the process of heat transfer. This study aims to find out how the AC works in regulating the temperature in a room. In the process, this research is accomplished by implementing finite element method on the energy transfer equation. Where the energy transfer equation is the partial differential used for heat transfer. In the finite element method, the flow field is broken down into a set of small fluid elements (discrete domains). In the solution, use it in three-dimensional space, then select the linear interpolation function for the 3D element, and derive the matrix and vector elements by the Galerkin method to obtain global equations. Results from computer-assisted studies show the temperature distribution in the room of COMSOL Multiphysic 5.0. Simulation results with COMSOL show that there is a correlation between AC location and solar radiation indoors against indoor temperature.

The process of working Air Conditioner (AC) in the cooling of a room is a process of heat transfer. This study aims to find out how the distribution of temperature in a room contained AC in it which is solved by implementing the finite element method on the energy transfer equation which is the differential equation used for heat transfer. In the finite element method, the flow field is broken down into a set of small fluid elements (domain discretization). In this study the researcher describes the space in three-dimensional space (3D), then selected linear interpolation function for 3D element, and decreases the matrix and vector elements by Galerkin method to obtain Global equation. Results from computer-assisted studies show the temperature distribution in the room.
