Abstract

Note: This paper is intended to be a short overview of a Master's thesis project. Try it on-line at http://www.usc.edu/dept/architecture/mbs/ . Click on "Research tools." Web based tools often can provide the opportunity for interactive learning experiences. This project focuses on creating a tool to assist instruction on the importance of wind and ventilation for human comfort, specifically exploring how these natural forces are effectively harnessed in traditional Thai architecture. The program is divided into three sections: temperature and humidity, wind and air motion, and the case study. In each section, extensive use of simple animations and examples help explain the concepts being explored. The first section discusses air temperature, relative humidity, and mean radiant temperature. An interactive tool allows the user to select temperature and humidity ranges. A comfort zone is displayed, and recommendations are given for using wind in alleviating discomfort (figure 1). The chapter on wind and air in motion is divided into two sections to discuss air pressure and wind and ventilation. In one section, wind systems, land and sea breezes, and mountain and valley winds are explained. In the ventilation section, natural ventilation, infiltration, and ventilation potential (wind pressure effect and the physical forces generating ventilation) are discussed. Eachof these includes both a textual and graphical explanation of the major concepts (figure 2). The final chapter of the program focuses on natural forces in traditional Thai architecture. Beginners can watch the three minute slide show that gives a pictorial historical perspective on traditional Thai houses. Then the user is free to explore the three main sections on "Thailand" (location, wind, temperature, and humidity), "Latitude" (design overview, site planning, zoning and interior layout, conclusion), and specific information on the capital city of "Bangkok" (location, wind, temperature, and humidity) (figure 3). Through text, graphics, and animations, this program provides an interactive introduction to the use of natural ventilation in architecture. The case study of traditional Thai architecture is especially relevant for other hot, humid climates.
