INTRODUCTION
A thermal comfort study was conducted on Masjid Al Muttaqin Kota Samarahan
following request by administrator of the mosque to study its indoor environmental
quality. Main concern which has been pointed out was the excessive indoor heat gain
probably due to the mosque distinctive roof design and material. The roof is made of
PTFE coated glass fabric. (Refer appendix for material data sheet) The mosque
construction was completed on 2000 and officially opened to public on 24 th Aug 2001.
The mosque can accommodates up to 2500 peoples at a time.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the hot environment of the mosque which is to
be expressed in Corrected Effective Temperature Index. Measuring equipment such as
the globe thermometer, sling thermometer, anemometer as well as the CET Nomogram
shall be used for this purpose. The internal surface temperature of the mosque with
emphasis on the roof membrane structure shall be measured with thermal imager (Flir
ThermaCAM P65). This is to determine how much heat gain is associated with the roof
as well as the confining walls and floor.
The result of the study shall be used to suggest an approariate solution to the
indoor heat problem. Engineering control to overcome the problem will integrate
appropriate design and retrofit solution in order to achieve acceptable thermal comfort
condition for Masjid Al Muttaqin.

Measured indoor temperature and RH
Discussion
1. Commonly used indicator of thermal comfort is air temperature, radiant
temperature, air velocity, humidity as well as personal factor like clothinginsulation and metabolic rate. However for this study, the thermal environmentwill be expressed in Corrected Effective Temperature which considers the globetemperature, wet bulb temperature and air velocity.
2. From the initial survey, it is found that the roof membrane temperature can reachup to 60 C at midday. During midday prayer time about 12.50pm, the roof temperature exceeds 45 C. The roof membrane is the only element separating theindoor and outdoor environment. It is found that the roof membrane has a high Uvalue which is 5.6 W/m 2K. However the solar reflectance of the roof material is71%. The emissivity of roof material is yet to be determined. High surface
temperature suggests high radiant heat emitted from the roof to indoor.
3. The room temperature from midday to 4pm exceeds 32 C . The recommendedthermal comfort zone for naturally ventilated building should not exceed 30 C .Refer preceding page on Thermal Comfort Assessment for Tropics (Naturally Ventilated)

4. The relative humidity exceeds 75% during midday and 85% after 4pm. Nosignificant air movement in the mosque was detected up to 7pm which suggestpoor ventilation even though the lower part of the mosque wall was built withlouver. High humidity compounded with low air movement in the mosquecontributes to unfavorable indoor thermal environment.
5. The glazing introduced was more than 60% of total area of wall. The thermalproperties of glazing as well as solid wall are yet to be determined. High glazingcoverage suggests increased heat gain of building.
6. Possible mechanical ventilation built into roof beam structure but yet to beverified.
7. Bird intrusion into building which explain bird netting around the upper part of wall and nesting around the dome structure.
8. Roof thermal transmittance value is 134 W/m 2 which is not recommended for thismosque should the building is air conditioned .
9. Translucency of roof is 12.5% which provide diffused day lighting for building.This feature not really needed for the mosque since building wall is glazed morethan 60% and very low occupancy during daytime. Overall the building isunderutilized. This also increases the heat gain into building.
Restrictions
1. Raining season in this month January 2011 with many days raining. Impossibleto gather thermal data until weather is hot. Data collection put on hold until hotweather return.
2. Anemometer not functioning. To be returned to technician for repair.

Future Activities
1. Further survey on Mean Radiant Temperature, air movement, DBT,WBT,RH and
surface temperature during hot weather (time window period to cover zohor, asar,magrib and ishak prayer time)
2. Acquire architectural drawing from client and building material thermal properties
3. Acquire mechanical drawing for any built in mechanical ventilation.
4. Create base model using Energy Plus to simulate existing thermal environment
