For this project a space is chosen to improve the passive building design for thermal comfort.We as a group record and analyze the existing condition in terms of thermal comfort and explained how the thermal environment of our chosen case study is affected from natural and man -made factors.

​

Based on the data collected we then modify the space to be passively ventilated and shaded.The space we chose is the yoga room in the gym and we have proposed a few ideas that helps to reduce the thermal heat gain of the space .

​

Some of the ideas proposed was vertical and horizontal fins in which a green wall is integrated on the vertical fins that helps not only to shade the space but also cool down the building load which i would integrate in my future design ideas. I also learned that the type of windows chosen affects the building's ventilation system which i would definitely give a thought when designing because different windows have different ways of deflects the wind .
