Description

CGN House is located in the middle of an empty space. Like the most of cities in Indonesia, Cilegon has a quite high temperature from the middle noon to early evening. The front facade that facing the west is dominated by solid and cantilever on the upper floor, to prevent heat from entering the building from the middle noon to early evening. The east / back side of the building is a courtyard, that intended to be a source of light in the morning and natural ventilation to the building. The challenge of this site is the sunlight can directly landed to the whole building. Simulation in 05.00 to 19.00 is conducted to see how exposure by solar radiation is entering into the building, which for the further is used to analyze the deeper thermal comfort and determining what kind of passive strategies may be applied. The high air velocity potency at the site is maximized to bring thermal comfortness in the building. Most of 2nd floor rooms are applied the slope ceiling following the shape of the roof, it is to create a larger the air volume. Using the Ashrae’s thermal comfort standarization, there are at least 3 main strategies could be applied in the buildings: Enlarging the room’s volume through ceiling elevation, Cross Air Ventilation in all rooms with high occupancy and Application of Ceiling Fans which only start operating in high temperature periods (12.00-17.00)
