“…The annual mean air temperature and humidity in Indonesia are around 28 0 C and 78%, consecutively [41]. The outdoor temperature can reach a maximum value of 34.1 0 C [8]. With a tropical climatic condition, thermal comfort in Padang is a crucial thing to consider in the concept of a residential building.…”

“…Moreover, a building that cannot provide adequate comfort has the potential to cause unfavorable impacts on occupants, such as health problems and decreased productivity [5]. To ensure the buildings have required thermal-visual comfort, they are often equipped with some technical devices such as heating and cooling for air conditioning, artificial lighting systems [6][7][8][9] and ventilation for interior air quality [10]. However, the installation of these devices adds several disadvantages such as additional building costs (installation, operation, maintenance), notable energy consumption [11] and environmental impact [12].…”

Thermal-visual comfort are important aspects of building design. Indoor thermal and daylight conditions in buildings are strongly affected by the amount of solar heat gain transmitted by windows. This experimental study aims to analyze the impact of window internal shading on the thermal-visual comfort of a residential building. The measurement is carried out on two building prototypes with a size of 80 cm × 60 cm and a height of 50 cm. The building roof is made of zinc-coated steel with a 30 0 -degree slope. The walls of the prototypes are 9 mm thick plywood boards. 40 cm × 30 cm glass windows are installed on the front and backside of the building. Thermal and visual effects of windows are analyzed by comparing the indoor temperature and daylight illuminance for two cases; building with and without shading devices. Indoor temperature and daylight illuminance are measured for three different degrees of slat angles of shading device; (a) 90 0 (vertical slat position, no solar irradiation enter in the room), (b) 45 0 , and (c) 0 0 (horizontal slat position). The measurement results shows that the change in the angle of the shading slats affects the thermal-visual conditions of the room.

“…Adequate awareness of the effects of climate change on buildings and environment has led to the development of green buildings which is one of major components of urban greenery [23-24] and green economy [25]. Awareness is also responsible for the integration of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies into government policy or sustainable development goals [26][27]. Sustainability in buildings means designing a building to withstand the effects of climate change and to ensure low energy consumption, indoor comfort [28-29], adequate ventilation and reduction of carbon emissions [30][31][32].…”

 Abstract: In recent times, the need for concrete steps to be taken in the adaptation and mitigation of the effects of climate change has taken the centre stage in development discourse. However, there is a scarcity of empirical studies on the extent to which built environment professionals, especially in a developing country like Nigeria are aware of the various climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. This study examined the level of awareness of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies amongst built environment professionals in Lagos, Nigeria. The data were sourced through a cross-sectional survey of 71 respondents including, architects, builders, town planners, estate managers and quantity surveyors in the study area using an online questionnaire. The data were subjected to descriptive statistics and the result shows that the built environment professionals identified the main causes of climate change to include the use of fossil fuels in industrial production, automobiles, and generation of electricity. Also, the major effects of climate change were flooding and excessive heat, while the top three adaptation and mitigation strategies greening/planting trees, enforcement of building guidelines and the use of energy-efficient technologies.This study implies that the built environment professionals are very much aware of the existing climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies but there is an urgent need to internalize them in the production and management of the environment in Nigeria.
