The provision requirement of 10% openings of the total floor area stated in the Uniform Building By-Law 1984 Malaysia is essential for natural lighting and ventilation purposes. However, focusing on natural ventilation, the effectiveness of thermal performance in landed residential buildings has never been empirically measured and proven, as most of the research emphasized simulation modeling lacking sufficient empirical validation. Therefore, this paper drawing on field measurement investigates natural ventilation performance in terraced housing with an air-well system. The key concern as to what extent the current air-well system serving as a ventilator is effective to provide better thermal performance is to be addressed. By adopting an existing single-story air-welled terrace house, indoor environmental conditions and thermal performance were monitored and measured using HOBO U12 air temperature and humidity, the HOBO U12 anemometer, and the Delta Ohm HD32.3 Wet Bulb Globe Temperature meter for a six-month duration. The results show that the air temperature of the air well ranged from 27.48 °C to 30.92 °C, with a mean relative humidity of 72.67% to 79.25%. The mean air temperature for a test room (single-sided ventilation room) ranged from 28.04 °C to 30.92 °C, with a relative humidity of 70.16% to 76.00%. These empirical findings are of importance, offering novel policy insights and suggestions. Since the minimum provision of 10% openings has been revealed to be less effective to provide desirable thermal performance and comfort, mandatory compliance with and the necessity of the bylaw requirement should be revisited.

This paper seeks to investigate into the aspects of thermal performance of traditional residential buildings in traditional settlements of Kathmandu valley. This study proceeds to analyze the detailed field data collected, with a view to identify the indoor thermal environment with respect to outdoor thermal environment in different seasons. This paper also compares the thermal performance of traditional buildings with modern residential buildings of traditional settlements of the valley. There is a regression analysis to obtain information about the thermal environment of different traditional and modern residential buildings with different conditions. The paper concludes that, thermal performance of traditional residential building, adapted in various ways to the changing thermal regime for thermal comfort is better than that of contemporary buildings.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jie.v10i1.10898Journal of the Institute of Engineering, Vol. 10, No. 1, 2014,  pp. 172–183

In this paper, analysis of dynamic thermal performance of multilayer insulation wall in residential buildings in Serbia is performed. Considering that the final goal is to build a residential structure with the highest level of efficiency, that is, with the lowest energy consumption for heating and cooling, it is necessary to determine good thermal characteristics of a multilayer wall. The first type of walls, which were analyzed had the same structure with different thicknesses of individual layers. The second type of analyzed walls had the same structure, but the thermo-insulating layers occupied different positions. The third type of walls had different structures, but the same total thickness. Based on the results presented in the paper, it can be concluded that in walls with similar structures, the same total thickness and different thicknesses of individual layers, there are differences in the external temperature variation shift. The position of the thermal insulation layer for the same wall structure does not significantly affect the change in temperature oscillation caused by the change in the outside temperature. Changing the wall structure, however, has significant influence on the thermal capacity. This analysis offers the possibility to choose the optimal solution for the wall structure with the highest energy efficiency.
