“…Moreover, a case of a study of two similar houses (with and without vegetation) was conducted in Malaysia with the purpose of evaluating the thermal performance of the shading. According to the measured data, the temperature difference between the vegetated and non-vegetated building was of 5.3 o C and 2.8 o C for indoor and outdoor temperatures, respectively; concluding that the outdoor and indoor temperatures can be significantly reduced by implementing vegetation as a shading strategy [12].…”

“…For residential buildings to have comfort savings, even though it is the same type of building, different techniques were applied as a green roof [13], vegetation shading [12], building orientation, and natural ventilation [7]. In the case of university a daylighting [15] and living walls [14] were used to get comfort savings.…”

Different investigations have been developed over the years, and experimental research takes time to collect the information. Considering this, the objective of this research is to carry out a literature review of the strategies adopted by countries with tropical climates to achieve energy and water efficiency, as well as the comfort of the occupants to evaluate the performance of these techniques for each tropical climate type (i.e., tropical rainforest, tropical monsoon, tropical savanna, and subtropical). A methodology is presented using keywords and exclusion criteria for the best selection of articles. Time is saved by searching for information on low consumption strategies, types of buildings, and techniques implemented in each country. A summary of each experimental investigation is made. Results showed that it is possible to apply different techniques to the same type of building and have the savings of interest (water, energy, or comfort) without limiting it to a specific technique. Some tropical climates tend to use only one type of savings, such as comfort and others use energy and water. The experimental studies presented a relevant saving for passive design strategies in the following order: 1- 62.22% applying natural ventilation, water wall and stack flue, 2- 41% and 43% applying daylighting and glazing. 3- 35% applying wall insulation. For low consumption techniques: 1-14.31% and a 32.30% Remote Control extension device and 2-19% applying semitransparent photovoltaic glazing. This article is a resource that can be used by anyone interested in experimental studies in tropical climates.

Through objective measurement, subjective measurement, and prioritization methods, this study evaluates the impacts of different shading facilities on the indoor environment of multi-story residential buildings, such as dormitories. The objective measurements mainly include the operative temperature, daylight factor, and sound pressure level. The subjective measurement is obtained from occupant votes regarding their satisfaction with the thermal uniformity, natural lighting, external noise, and the overall indoor environment. The results show that the subjective evaluations were significantly more reliable than the objective measurements for predicting indoor environmental satisfaction. The prioritization method of the ordered logistic regression was then used to evaluate the impact of perceived indoor environmental quality on overall satisfaction. The results show that the impact of the perceived indoor environmental quality on overall satisfaction varied with the shading facilities. In addition, the occupants commented on the function of items affecting their application preferences and provided recommendations for improving balconies and sunshades to provide occupants with better indoor environments.
