“…Moreover, many studies in hot and humid climates have shown that occupants of naturally ventilated buildings have a wider range of comfort temperatures than those in air conditioned buildings. This provides further evidence of the importance of past experience and expectations of the indoor environment in determining thermal comfort [24,25,22,26,27].…”

“…This is frequently measured via thermal neutrality (the state where respondents report feeling neither cool nor warm). In naturally-ventilated residential buildings in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, residents report temperatures of about 30 °C as thermally neutral [69], with little variation during the wet or dry seasons, or at different times during the day (10 a.m. to 7 p.m.) [70]. These values do not explain the high rates of AC usage observed in Malaysia, however.…”

“…This is in agreement with investigation by other local researcher such as [28,29,30,31,32] as well as [33] that have showed that typical Malaysian residential house including low income house failed to provide the minimum thermal comfort target. Study by [34] in a similar regional condition located in Sabah Malaysia have shown from a survey that the thermal comfort temperature was at 30.2 ºC. Another study by [35] has given an upper limit of 30.7 ºC for an unconditioned building in Malaysia.…”
