Abstract

The objective of the current study is to reduce the heat impact and perform a thermal comfort evaluation in Thai residences. Using passive cooling methods aimed at decreasing temperatures, the study evaluated the measures using the simulation software SMASH. First, ambient weather data measured in Thailand were arranged for use as SMASH weather data. Next, building data for Thai residences and weather data were utilized for the simulation and to verify the accuracy of the simulation. Each type of passive cooling method was adopted for the simulation and the temperature decreases that affect the thermal comfort of Thai people was evaluated for conventional Thai house types. The present study should be useful for consideration of future passive cooling design in Thailand.
