The Thermal Comfort of Sangkring Art Space Yogyakarta

Thermal comfort is one factor that affects the level of human comfort when carrying out activities and interacting. Human needs comfortable thermal conditions for carrying out activities indoors. Sangkring Art Space one of the galleries in Yogyakarta makes efforts to maximize natural airflow mechanism building. This study aims to determine the condition of thermal comfort and analyze the effect of natural airflow on the thermal comfort of Sangkring Art Space buildings. The method used in this study is a quantitative method by observing and measuring temperature, humidity and wind speed. Based on observation and measurement data, PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) and PPD (Pre-dicted Percentage Dissatisfied) calculations were carried out using the CBE Thermal Comfort Tool ASHRAE-55 to obtain a value scale that describes the thermal comfort conditions of visitors or users of the Sangkring Art Room. The results showed that Sangkring Art Space did not meet the standards for natural airflow and thermal comfort. Factors that cause it namely the speed of motion of air in space, location and shape of the ve building conditions and surrounding environment.
