Abstract

This research aims to identify the building performance of traditional Chinese architecture style building in Indonesia’s tropical climate as well as measuring whether it could withstand climate change; while verifying the claims that living in these buildings are still comfortable enough. These aims can be fulfilled through identifying key elements embedded in the building/complex that significantly contribute to how the building performs using DesignBuilder. Simulation findings indicate that due to soaring heat in Lasem, Indonesia, both main building’s outer terrace and kitchen receives an immense radiative heat all-year round with relatively high humidity levels. By modifying the outer terraces with window panes and rerouting heat from the kitchen, author has managed to lower main building’s overall operative temperature at the expense of higher relative humidity. However, even if it doesn’t fit Indonesia’s thermal comfort standards, PMV results show the modifications succeeded in reducing overall heat absorbed into the building.
