Abstract

Office building in hot and humid climate are designed to meet the expectation of human thermal comfort, which most of the time the use of air conditioning system is inevitable and becomes a necessity which then leads to a high energy consumption. Therefore in this thesis project, other possible building strategies which are able to tackle the high cooling energy demand are performed, based on the main climate characteristic of hot and humid climate. An integration between indirect evaporative cooling, dehumidification, and sun shading device in a façade system shows possibilities in reduction on cooling energy demand under several conditions and requirements in order to achieve thermal comfort inside an office space.
