This paper presents a study of thermal comfort of container for a low income flat in Jakarta. This study was conducted since the population of Jakarta is rapidly growing so that the provision of houses for inhabitants especially for low-income communities is necessary. One solution to resolve this issue is vertical housing that concern the sustainability development process; hence, the use of used container may become a suitable choice. However, the drawback of the container is made of aluminum which has high thermal conductivity and can cause poor indoor thermal comfort. This study, therefore, analysed a used container to investigate its indoor thermal comfort. In order to facilitate that objective, a simulation study was conducted. The simulation study consisted of two steps: (1) to simulate the indoor thermal comfort of the container without insulation and (2) to simulate the container after has been added by insulator materials and air gap between the materials. The results showed that by adding insulator materials and air gap as the second layer, the indoor thermal comfort can be improved up to 26%. This result is in the range of the third level of Standard National Indonesia (SNI) thermal comfort version.

Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) replaces building envelope materials and provides electric power generator, which has aroused great interest for those in the fields of energy conservation and building design. Double-skin façade (DSF) has attracted significant attention over the last three decades due to its bi-layer structure, which improves thermal and acoustic insulation and therefore increases the energy efficiency and thermal comfort of buildings. It is hypothesised that the integration of BIPV and DSF (BIPV-DSF) would help buildings in reducing energy consumption and improving indoor thermal comfort concurrently. However, the prototype of the BIPV-DSF has not been well explored. Thus, the investigations of the BIPV-DSF are worthwhile. Numerical simulation is a cost and time effective measure for the design and analysis of buildings. This chapter spells out a comprehensive method of numerical simulation modelling of the novel BIPV-DSF system in buildings, which is carried out by using a graphically based design tool – TRNSYS and its plugins. TRNSYS has been validated and widely used in both the BIPV and building related research activities, which are capable in analysing the effects of BIPV-DSF on building performance such as energy consumption and indoor thermal condition.
