“…As explained above, the first 'airhouse' standard proposal was based on natural ventilation, promoting air movement using passive elements such as opening ratios according to altitude, the hierarchy of opening design and effective plan layout to achieve thermal comfort [4]. The new research explores the use of an integrated strategy of using dynamic insulation with a hybrid ventilation with a radiant cooling ceiling, which could also improve the indoor air quality and active lightwells.…”

“…This research started by exploring the natural ventilation strategies present in vernacular Malaysian architecture, comparing it with modern social housing [4]. Here, we propose the introduction of a new design standard for high-rise social housing, named the 'airhouse' standard.…”

“…Traditional Malay construction relied on the post and beams structure as the primary load bearing elements, with wooden or bamboo walls and thatched roof. Prefabricated construction methods were used where all the components are made and assembled on site allows the house to be dismantled and reassembled elsewhere at a different location [3].…”

“…The work of Mohd Firrdhaus Mohd Sahabuddin and Cristina Gonzalez-Longo takes a different route and places emphasis on thermal comfort in the context of Malaysian social housing. Their work introduces a new typology that aims at enhancing thermal comfort and argues that traditional values should be integrated into social housing design to achieve a certain measurement of natural ventilation in a typical Malaysian residential unit or a house (Sahabuddin and Gonzalez-Longo, 2015). Raffaello Furlan argues for the need to reestablish the relationship between cultural traditions and house form.…”
