Thermal Modelling and Intuitive Experience
– Understanding of heat transfer mechanism– Predicts internal temperatures– Uses real weather data (Guam)– Two software methods (ECOTECT & IES)– Verified by data loggers in Samoa– Actual building Faiaii exceeds predicted
performance

Sustainability vs Sacred Cows:
• Comfort Envelope ( what will you accept?)• Natural Ventilation vs Thermal Mass• Ceiling Fans vs Openable Windows• Occupancy (Transient or continuous)• Accurate Modelling of temperatures• Acceptance by occupants of wider envelope

Shading of Thermal Mass

Passive Vent provides equilibrium

Effective cooling from fans
• Ceiling fans create air movement• Velocity of 2 – 3 m/s • Air movement transfers heat to floor• Air movement cools skin (evaporation)• Combined effect of air movement over skin is a
perceived temperature drop of 1C even though air temperature has not dropped.

Thermal mass
• Heavy weight concrete structure. – Thick concrete slab on grade. – Thick heavyweight concrete block wall.
• Slab on grade allows heat to be transferred into ground
• Thermal Mass only works if cool. Therefore must be shaded from external gains to be effective.

Recommendations to maximise thermal comfort
• Shaded Thermal Mass• Light coloured insulated roof• Ceiling fans evenly distributed• Internal flow of air for equilibrium• Transient occupancy
![Page 21: Passive Design in the Pacific Environment Passive Design in the Pacific Environment PASSIVE DESIGN FOR THERMAL COMFORT IN A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT Neil Purdie](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649ebb5503460f94bc3fc1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Conclusions/ Application to New Zealand
• Acceptance of expanded comfort envelope (18C to 26C )
• Acceptance of shaded thermal mass ( say NO to glass boxes)
• Acceptance of ceiling fans• Heat and cool floor slabs for thermal comfort
