Thermal surface analysis on high-rise building façades with neo-minimalist and modern style in Penang, Malaysia

Thermal Surface Analysis on Modern Apartment’s Façade in Penang, Malaysia

“…Thus, this study examines the thermal performance of two high-rise building's façade with modern architectural style to study the efficiency of the building's facades design of the modern style. Penang Island which is considered as the second most important state in Malaysia was selected for this study with two if high-rose buildings on the eastern coast of the island, the island overall has been under huge development for the last 3 decades, and the first high-rise building in the Penang was constructed in the 1960s [2,3].
