on "Thermal Performance Of Façade Materials And Design And The Impacts
On Indoor And Outdoor Environment" Thermal
comfort is one of the primary requirements of the interior environment of naturally
ventilated buildings. A
study of the thermal performance of façade materials and design was carried
out in Singapore. The objectives of this project are: | | a. | To
examine and understand the impact of façade material properties on indoor
environment and façade thermal performance | | | b.
| To
examine façade parameters and design related to the façade thermal
performance | | | c. | To
study and develop design guideline of acceptable U-value for non air-conditioned
building facades |
