INTRODUCTION & LITERATURE REVIEW

Supported By:Organized By:

This research is objectively to provide a broad and analytical documentation based upon currently published

papers and articles. Adequate articles have been chosen to be further analysed, reviewed and extended on one

selected point of view.

The three chosen literature papers are:

i. Malaysian Vernacular Architecture and Its Relationship to Climate (2011)

ii. Re-adaptation of Malay vernacular architecture thermal comfort elements: towards sustainable design in

Malaysia (2012)

iii. Malay Vernacular Architecture: Mirror of The Past, Lessons for The Future (2014)

METHODS

Comparative case studies by means of simulations and reviews are amongst the main instrumental elements used in order to obtain sufficient data. The instruments and method being applied are of analysing and reviewing existing building that incorporates and manifest Malay vernacular ventilation elements in their respective design. Comparisons were made on these case studies by means of simulations to further understand the influences and impacts by means of using this method of ventilation

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

The house forms were the main basis of selection for the case studies. The height of the stilt in Rumah BagindaTan Mas Mohar prior to the location of the house was the core selection criteria for this study. Thus, the location andform provides the most significance typologies for this study. While, the social project developments could be designand constructed any part of the country. Thus, the social project of Rumah Selangorku is best served as the mostsuitable representative of social housing project in the country. As obtain from the simulations, it can be clearly seenthe temperature of air in the Malay vernacular house and the Rumah Selangorku unit has no major differencesbetween them. The most vital reading obtained while conducting this simulations are the movement of air flow.

CONCLUSIONS

8


In a nutshell, in the design of Malay vernacular and social projects developments there were severalissues being discovered. As can be gathered from this study, the social projects uses materials such as bricksand concretes that have high capacity of thermal as compared to the Malay vernacular house which usesmaterials that readily gives out heat and helps cools the building . In the social Rumah Selangorku project, theopenings are situated on the higher part of the body and are usually small as compared to the Malayvernacular house which have openings of full length size at the body level. Thus, the social developments areusually not successful in providing cross ventilation effect efficiently.
