“…Three studies done in school classrooms in tropical and sub-tropical regions also gave regression neutral temperatures close to that found in the current study: 28.8 C for Wong and Khoo [3], 29.2 C for Liang et al [23], and 28.4 C Hussein et al [5]. More interestingly though, a similar result came unexpectedly from air-conditioned high school classrooms in Taiwan [24].…”

“…A study by Djamila, Chu and Kumaresan (2013) in a similar regional condition located in Sabah, Malaysia has shown from a survey that the thermal comfort temperature was at 30.2ºC. Another study by Hussein, Rahman and Maria (2009) has given an upper limit of 30.7ºC for an unconditioned building in Malaysia. A similar study by Nguyen, Singh and Reter (2012) has put not more than 30ºC as an upper limit for building in a hot and humid region.…”

Night air temperature in Malaysia is generally about 23°C and is a potential source of heat sink to dissipate heat gain from a building. A thermal storage tank was used to store a certain quantity of water and was passively cooled during the night using the pitched roof as a heat exchanger to chill the water to as low as 22°C. The free cooling of water was then used as a cooling medium to cool the modular radiant cooling panel during the day time when the outdoor temperature exceeds 30°C. The experiment shows that the system was able to maintain an indoor temperature of less than 28°C when the outdoor temperature peaked to nearly 34°C while providing acceptable thermal comfort with certain controlled air movement. The use of the hydronic radiant cooling panel with free night cooled water as its coolant is proven to have significant energy saving potential of up to 85% while at the same time provide an acceptable room thermal comfort which meets the international standard criteria such as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and AirConditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 55.
