Well-designed buildings do not need mechanical heating or cooling. Buildings that are passively designed take advantage of natural climate to maintain thermal comfort of its users.

A building is chosen so that we can propose on multiple ways to improve its thermal comfort. Existing conditions were recorded and analyzed before proceeding to the proposal.

For our team, a double-storey terrace house located at 22, Jalan BK 4/3, Bandar Kinrara, Puchong is chosen.

From the observation and data collection, it is concluded that the building is not well ventilated. Ceilings and brick walls block heat from escaping the house. Parts of its interior do not receive adequate daylight.  As the house faces west, it receives a lot of heat during the afternoon. The heat remains stagnant in the house at night, making it uncomfortable.
