  • An Assignment on Thermal Comfort and the Use Of
    AN ASSIGNMENT ON THERMAL COMFORT AND THE USE OF VERANDAS IN RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN AKURE. Submitted by: ALUKO ADEBOYE EBENEZER ARC/04/4318. Course: APPLIED CLIMATOLOGY [ARC 810] To The Department Of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure In Partial Fulfillment of M. Tech Degree in Architecture Lecturer in Charge: Prof. Ogunsote August, 2011 1 Abstract This paper presents the result of an investigation on verandas to achieve thermal comfort in residential houses. In this study the veranda is singled out as a significant building element to attain environmental comfort, a field study in three outlaying areas of the city of Akure was carried out. The results show that the front veranda and the back or side porch is still an important for domestic outdoor activities and receiving of fresh breeze. The population recognizes the veranda’s importance as a shading element and residential buildings in Akure has always incorporated this knowledge in to the design of their houses. The use of Verandas to achieve Indoor thermal comfort in a residential building is essential for occupants’ well-being and productivity, thus providing for indoor thermal comfort and reducing energy use in buildings which is becoming increasingly difficult. Human body response intelligently to different climate conditions by acclimatization and adaptation. The different thermal comfort behavior of human need for people in different climate condition and also for different season clearly shows that the design strategy for building must comply with the locality of the building. Intelligent system may be used for the purpose of compliance to thermal comfort. This paper describes typical strategies to naturally improve comfort in a climate which is hot and humid without air conditioning.
