“…According to [3,4,5], the introduction of energy saving technologies at the design stage should be envisaged to improve the energy efficiency of civil buildings. Examples are given in [6,7] to demonstrate that solutions will increase the level of comfort indoors and, in the course of operation, will lead to savings in energy resources and lower costs of their use.…”

One of the urgent problems today is to increase the energy efficiency of civil buildings. There is a need at the design stage to choose structures and design solutions that will compensate for the increasing consumption of energy resources in civil engineering. This article compares different building envelopes used in the construction of residential buildings: a volumetric block and a wall made of aerated concrete blocks. To determine the most energy efficient design solution construction is compared in different climatic regions. One of the most vulnerable places of a wall, from the point of view of energy efficiency, is a window jamb. In this article, an analysis is carried out to determine the construction with the lowest heat loss window jambs. Using the ELCUT software temperature fields and additional heat flux densities are calculated. According to the calculation, the proportion of heat loss due to window slope from heat loss according to the surface of the structure was determined. The heat flux density of the homogeneous section of the wall of the volume block is 1.28 times higher on average than in the aerated concrete wall. Regardless of the climatic conditions, the junction of the window jamb in buildings made of insulated panels of volumetric blocks is more energy efficient than the same junction in a building with aerated concrete walls.

“…Yang et al [27] mention that quantify variables that contribute to thermal comfort represent a challenge due to the thermal history and occupant expectations and mention that "these challenges could be solved in a laboratory study by limiting variables and focusing on one variable in each experimental case." However, some authors [28]- [30] have focused the thermal comfort evaluation in investigations that allow controlling and measuring various variables simultaneously.…”

Colonized by the Dutch for a hundred years, Indonesia has many Dutch-style churches in its cities. The uniqueness of the churches is that they have low ventilation in the below part of side-by-side walls to penetrate air movement in buildings. This current research was conducted on two Dutch-style churches with different heights of low ventilations on their walls. The study aimed to establish correlation modeling between the height of low ventilation and thermal comfort in buildings covering Standard Effective Temperature, Predicted Mean Vote (PMV), and Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied (PPD). The methods used were referred to the ASHRAE Standard 55-2017 and statistically analyzed by using linear regression and Anova of SPSS 24. The measurements were performed at the same three devotional times at similar multiple specified measuring points inside the churches. The results showed that the church with 40 cm height ventilations had 4% higher air velocity than that with 70 cm height ventilations. For PMV, the church with 40 cm height low ventilation has a 'neutral' sensation, while the one with 70 cm height low ventilations has 'slightly cool'. The church with 40 cm height low ventilation has 72% PPD lower significantly than the other.
