“…Therefore, the building's airflow relies on natural ventilation. The natural ventilation that occurs is determined by the type of window (Widiastuti et al, 2020;M. Liu et al, 2017), the size of the opening (Mediastika, 2002;Sacht & Lukiantchuki, 2017), and the condition of the window opening (Heiselberg et al, 2002).…”

Type 36 houses are built for people who have low income. Because of this, the buildings’ ventilation relies on natural airflow. One of the variables that affects natural ventilation is airflow. Airflow can affect the quality of indoor air, influencing the comfort and health of those within. This study aims to evaluate the designs of type 36 buildings from the perspective of the airflow through the unit. It uses computational fluid dynamics simulations to compare the pattern and velocity of airflow in each building design. There are six designs of type 36 house that have different layouts and placements of air vents. The results of the simulation and analysis show that rooms arranged in a way that allows for the placement of vents that were facing each other, even if they were in different rooms, generated continuous airflow without experiencing turbulence.

— Café is a retail F&B place for eating and drinking fast food and presenting a relaxed or informal atmosphere. Café, which is a public space where customers spend time, of course, must maintain ventilation in the café to ensure the customer’s thermal comfort. For this reason, paying attention to air circulation in the cafe is essential. The author takes the ice cream cafe in Malang as the case study object in this case study research. This research focuses on ventilation on the first floor of the café. After making observations, it was found that the air circulation in the cafe is not smooth and limited because of the closed space. Despite having two air conditioners running, the restaurant’s atmosphere started to feel limiting as the survey was being conducted. The lack of ventilation in this enclosed room further reduces the café’s thermal comfort. To solve this problem, the author provides a solution for implementing cross-circulation by adding windows to the front and back of the café to maximize air circulation and using an exhaust fan in the café kitchen to maintain air quality. So with this, it can guarantee the thermal comfort of customers at this cafe.

“…Various studies have been done on the effect of the ventilation system on indoor comfort. These studies can help to apply the software product more effectively especially for places where the ambient temperature is quite high in summer months and quite low in winter [1], [2], [3]. In addition to all this, the improvement of the thermal conditions will also lead to an increase in the energy efficiency of the enclose spaces.…”

This paper examines the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to improve thermal comfort in enclosed spaces, such as theatres, halls, and offices. Thermal comfort is crucial for occupant well-being and productivity, and is influenced by various factors, including air temperature, humidity, and airflow. To create tailored models for specific spaces, we suggest using CFD simulations to predict airflow patterns and temperature distribution, thereby identifying discomfort zones. This research aims to optimize thermal comfort and improve building design and energy efficiency by iteratively adjusting ventilation strategies. The practical applications of this approach include improved design and construction, as well as retrofitting existing buildings. To achieve this, CFD simulations should be integrated into the design phase to proactively address thermal comfort issues and achieve energy-efficient layouts. Customising CFD models for existing buildings allows for the analysis of airflow patterns and optimisation of ventilation strategies to enhance thermal comfort. HVAC systems can be evaluated using CFD to identify areas for improvement and select energy-efficient solutions, leading to enhanced energy efficiency. The benefits of these improvements include enhanced well-being and productivity, as improved thermal comfort can lead to better occupant health and focus, ultimately boosting productivity. Additionally, the risks of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) can be reduced. CFD analysis can help reduce the risks of Sick Building Syndrome by optimizing ventilation and improving indoor air quality. In the future, it is recommended to integrate CFD simulations with Building Information Modelling for comprehensive thermal comfort analysis. This study highlights the potential of CFD to optimize thermal comfort in enclosed spaces by promoting occupant well-being and energy efficiency through iterative ventilation adjustments. It is important to adhere to established standards when integrating CFD.
