In the first project of this module, we learn the basic knowlegde about building science and thermal comfort. We understand that a range of environmental and personal factors that affect human's perception of comfortable, and these factors including air temperature, radiant temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, activity and clothing. At the beginning of the project, we analyzing the orientation, design and materials of a building near PJS 7, bandar Sunway, which is one of our members house.
Project 1 : Human Perception of Comfort Level
For this project, we gained an opportunity for use to learn to use a data logger. By using data logger in measuring interior temperature and relative humidity, we analyze the results obtained from different aspects.

Project 2 : Integration with design studio 3
In the Design Studio 3 final project, we take consider of thermal comfort in our design. From the analysis in ecotect, to find out the exposed surface of the design and further improve it. I applied basic building design in it, such as overhang roof, cross ventilation, choosing of material to reach thermal comfort for occupant in my building.
In this module, I understand how important is building science relate to architectural building design. Building science is a knowledge for us to find the solution to create a sustainable design. I think this is a
important module for every architect and it's useful and i should be always refer it for my future design.
