| dc.description.abstract | Climate Responsive Design as a whole is an integral part of the environmental framework that is being developed to reduce environment impacts and provide comfort for human well-being. The research aims to study the climate responsive design at the office building especially on the application of day/ighting design and thermal performance via the shading devices and building envelope's function for the benefit of user's comfort in their internal environment. The selected case study is the Showcase units of C. E. 0 Building which is located at the roof top garden at Level 8 of Krystal Point Corporate Park, Penang. This building introduces a new concept of 'SoHo' or Small Office Home Office which combines the spaces for home and working under one roof, and therefore the thermal comfort is very essential in its interior. Besides that, the building is also declared to be a Low Energy Office (LEO); however this showcase building has some deficiencies in deSign and construction to claim the building as a low energy office. The methodologies of the research are by case study and fieldwork measurement using environmental data equipment. The collected data are analyzed via graphs and computer analysis using SUNTOOL program. Through results, it found out that the fully-glazed wall which without any external shading devices that act as the building envelope affects the daylighting and thermal performances in the interiors. Therefore, the researcher finally comes out with design recommendations which are; i) to reduce height of the glazing, ii) to use highly performance tinted-glass for the glazing wall and iii) to add external shading devices, which hope to improve the daylighting and thermal performances in the building, and thus the design is responsive to its climate. | en_US |
