| Popis: | Office workers spend most of their time indoor with average of eight hours spent inside the office buildings. Therefore, the indoor environment condition will be one of the factors contributing to comfort level inside the building. Since air conditioning system is commonly used to maintain the indoor condition, the selection of appropriate and right capacity of the system is crucial. The purpose of this work is to conduct an analysis of the indoor environment condition towards the thermal comfort level inside office building. The case study building for this study is the Chancellery Building of Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) which is installed with the central air-conditioning system. The thermal condition was measured by using the thermal microclimate instrument. The parameters involved in this study include air temperature and humidity. Based on the data measurement, the temperatures were range between 25.7 °C to 26.2 °C while the humidity recorded is between 68.1% to 70%. Comparing with ASHRAE Standards 55 and ASHRAE Standards 62.1 the thermal and humidity condition fall outside of the comfort range. |
