“…This is in accord with research in Tibet endeavoring to practice passive design. The result, however, indicates that it is unable to arrive at comfortable temperature of 16,4 o C and 24 o C, so a heating device is required [25].…”

One of the factors to enable energy efficiency in buildings is creating thermal comfort for the occupants of buildings so that the artificial vaporization is not required. The thermal sensation vote (TSV) is an indicator in analyzing the occupants’ satisfaction on the thermal comfort of their buildings. Some climate variables that relate to the TSV include air temperature, humidity, and wind speed. The three variables can be combined into a variable using a psychrometric chart. The combined variable is known as an effective temperature. The present research aims at analyzing the connection between effective temperature and TSV in vernacular houses in the tropical mountain and beach locations and comparing the results of the analysis. The quantitative method was employed in the research by measuring the variables of climate using a thermal measuring instrument. The TSV was measured with ASHRAE (American Standard of Heating, Refrigerating, Air-Conditioning Engineer)’s seven-point sensation scale. The measurement was carried out in transitional periods from the dry season to the wet season. Interpretation of graphs and charts was made for analysis based on the variable of effective temperature. The results of the research indicated that there was a connection between effective temperature and TSV. The effective temperature in vernacular houses in tropical mountain locations tended to be lower, and therefore the cool thermal sensation had the greatest percentage of TSV. Meanwhile, the effective temperature in tropical beach locations tended to be high, and therefore the warm thermal sensation had the greatest percentage. In a neutral scale, the percentage of TSV in tropical mountain locations was greater than that of TSV in tropical beach locations. Therefore, it is concluded that the occupants of vernacular houses in tropical mountain location felt more comfortable than those of vernacular houses in tropical beach locations.

“…Vernacular buildings always use local materials in their construction. Some studies suggest that vernacular buildings can deal with microclimate and can create thermal comfort for its inhabitants [12,13]. Currently, the tendency to use local materials is increasing for they enable the achievement of energy saving.…”

A building's ability in creating thermal convenience will produce energy saving. Such an ability of a building is known as building thermal performance. Building thermal performance is highly infl uenced by the building envelop and environment temperature. This research aims at analyzing the thermal performance of two wood-and exposed stone-walled buildings in mountainous areas. The measurement uses a scaled prototype of 0.60 m x 0.60 m x 0.60 meter size. Determination of building materials in accordance with local material conditions results from previous studies. The roof uses four material variations, namely roof tiles, zinc, asbestos and thatch. The fl oor uses three material variations, namely earth, concrete rebate and ceramic. There are a total of 32 building envelope variations. The measurement is performed for 24 hours for each variation model. The analysis uses a graphic and it will shows the difference between wood-and exposed stone-walled buildings. The research results generally show that air temperature inside wood building is higher than in exposed stone building. The highest indoor air temperature difference between the wood building and the exposed stone building is 0.37 o C. Finally, the building variation with the highest thermal performance is the one with zinc roof and earth fl oor.
