Effect Of Orientation On Indoor Temperature Case Study: Yekape Penjaringansari Housing in Surabaya

Abstract :
Building orientation has an important impact to the indoor building temperature. Theoretically, different building orientation would received different heat gain thus different indoor temperature accordingly.
Housing developer usually built a typical house-design without building orientation heat gain difference as concern.This paper aimed to explore the impact of building orientation toward the indoor temperature of typical house-design, which built on two different site orientations. The time measurement based on extreme sun-paths of Surabaya in wet and dry seasons to describe thoroughly the outdoor temperature and the house’s indoor temperature of both orientations. By comparing the rooms indoor temperature of each house, the indoor temperature profile wiil be gained.
