Abstract

Partition in building plays the significant role in dividing space in the house. Therefore, natural air flow affects by the location of partition. As we know, a space with poor indoor air quality can cause a variety of short term and long term health problems. So, that’s why it’s very important to design a space to have good ventilation, whether it naturally or by the machine, mechanical support to maintain occupants comfort. It’s very important for every space area to achieve human comfort. Thermal comfort is the condition of mind that expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment and is assessed by subjective evaluation. Maintaining the standard of thermal comfort for occupants of buildings or other enclosures is one of the important goals of HVAC design engineers. In some area in building or house, partitions are important for the cycle of air flow. This is research about the study of air flows in the same area regarding the position of the partition affect the air flow inside the house or building. This study selects a single-storey terrace house for data collection. This research evaluates the indoor air quality by indoor monitoring. The purposes of this project are to monitor indoor air quality parameter. Hence verify with a simulation of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). There are several parameters collected and the parameter is used for the results. Based on this study, the result of a simulation of CFD shows the air flow behaviour in the house. The partition is arranged and installed in the right place and position. The air flow enters through an inlet, circulated in the house space, later exit through an outlet. The air inside of the house produces a good behaviour.
