| The thermal comfort conditions inside building are important criteria for the comfort of occupants. This comfort condition depends upon the various building design factors. To achieve an ideal thermal comfort condition proper control of climatic elements such as air temperature, humidity, and air movement through design is needed. Based on various research studies it is evident that traditional buildings are more climate responsive compared to the modern buildings. Thus the thermal performance evaluation of the traditional buildings is necessary to find out the micro climatic efficiency achieved by them. This paper reviews three different research studies undertaken based on this. A detailed analysis was carried out to derive suitable suggestions for thermal comfort conditions in buildings. It is found that the traditional architectural design and building techniques facilitate to achieve thermal comfort inside the buildings. Sometimes not only the techniques but materials also play an important role in the thermal comfort conditions. Some field measurements and survey techniques can also help to formulate the thermal comfort conditions. |
