“…Table 4 summarises the fieldwork research findings and is based on a study, and it can be deduced that buildings with atriums have better indoor and outdoor air quality than buildings with light wells (Loo et al, 2021;. This fieldwork has found that PM10 levels in PPR2 are generally moderate-high, while PM10 levels in PPR1 are moderate-low.…”

Air pollution is one factor that contributes to serious health issues in developing countries. The Malaysian Environmental Department has measured that particulate matter in urban areas is significantly higher than other parts of the country. Thus, this study aims to assess the current level of indoor and outdoor air quality in a tropical city—Kuala Lumpur; and to understand the relationship between these two environments in high-rise buildings. Through a fieldwork study on two typologies of social housing in the city, particulate matters of PM10 and PM2.5 were found to be the most common substances in indoor and outdoor spaces. The first typology, which employs a compact design with light-wells, recorded a decrease in particulate matter concentrations, whereas the second, which employs atriums in its design, recorded an increase for the same substance. Therefore, a change in the ventilation concept should be implemented to address the problem of indoor air pollution using an integrated hybrid strategy of passive and low energy consumption techniques that should be explored in greater detail in the future.

“…Passive design involves natural ventilation and daylighting without mechanical energy and can result in more environmentally friendly structures [5]. Because passive design minimises or limits solar heat gain and optimises natural ventilation and other heat and temperature-related issues, passive design is indirectly connected to thermal performance.…”

Malaysia is a tropical climate with high temperatures, especially indoor temperatures, due to the abundant sunlight it gets throughout the year. Passive design is one of the cooling ways to minimise mechanical ventilation usage. This study will focus on a single-story detached house and emphasise all passive design techniques in Puncak Iskandar, Seri Iskandar, Perak. The house was selected based on orientation, vacant house and no vegetation surrounding the compound. There were two objectives: to determine the indoor space of the case study house with poor thermal performance and to analyse the passive design application which contributes to the thermal performance of the selected indoor space. The method of this study is quantitative research, which applies field measurement and on-site observation. Instrumental tools used in this study were two sets of data loggers. Environmental parameters investigated are temperature, humidity, air velocity, and solar radiation. The findings were analysed to understand the effect of passive design strategy on house temperature. This study discovered that passive design methods influenced the house temperature performance, particularly in hot and humid climate regions, due to building orientation, building form, shading, building materials, opening, and daylighting. Vegetation on the house surroundings and insulation are not being investigated and are part of the study’s limitations.

The global transition toward sustainable energy sources has prompted a surge in the integration of renewable energy systems (RES) into existing power grids. To improve the efficiency, reliability, and economic viability of these systems, the synergistic application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods has emerged as a promising avenue. This study presents a comprehensive review of the current state of research at the intersection of renewable energy and AI, highlighting key methodologies, challenges, and achievements. It covers a spectrum of AI utilizations in optimizing different facets of RES, including resource assessment, energy forecasting, system monitoring, control strategies, and grid integration. Machine learning algorithms, neural networks, and optimization techniques are explored for their role in complex data sets, enhancing predictive capabilities, and dynamically adapting RES. Furthermore, the study discusses the challenges faced in the implementation of AI in RES, such as data variability, model interpretability, and real-time adaptability. The potential benefits of overcoming these challenges include increased energy yield, reduced operational costs, and improved grid stability. The review concludes with an exploration of prospects and emerging trends in the field. Anticipated advancements in AI, such as explainable AI, reinforcement learning, and edge computing, are discussed in the context of their potential impact on optimizing RES. Additionally, the paper envisions the integration of AI-driven solutions into smart grids, decentralized energy systems, and the development of autonomous energy management systems. This investigation provides important insights into the current landscape of AI applications in RES.
