  • Proceeding of the 7th International Seminar on Sustainable Environment & Architecture, 20-21 November 2006, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, Indonesia.
  • The objectives of this study were to discover the butsudan industrial production room temperature at PT Maruki International Indonesia, Makassar then compare it with the thermal comfort standard SNI T-14-1993-03 (warm-comfort 27,1oC and relative humidity 50-60%) and the factors effecting the thermal comfort and how to control it. The result of thermal condition measurement in the production room, conducted from July 7 to 26, 2006, start from 8 am till 5 pm for 14 days, showed that the average temperature exceeded the warm-comfort standard 27,1oC, it was 31,76oC (4,86o higher), the relative humidity was at normal condition 50-60%, and the average wind speed through the windows are 0,09 m/s at the south east window and 1,3 m/s at the north west window. The thermal comfort was not achieved due to the wind speed entered the room was slow, whereas the standard in-room wind speed for factory building ranged from 1,0 to 1,5 m/s. The size of ventilation holes are below the minimum standard (200 m2) only 132,2 m2 and the windows were to low.
