Assessment of indoor thermal condition on traditional vernacular masjid: a case study on Masjid Kampung Laut, Malaysia

Traditional vernacular architectures in Malaysia, including public buildings such as masjid, were designed with the tropical climate in mind and have proven as an excellent example of providing indoor thermal comfort to the occupants. It is a naturally ventilated building being greatly influenced by...

It is a naturally ventilated building being greatly influenced by the building designs. In traditional vernacular architecture, the roof is the main building enclosure that contributes to the total heat gain. Hence, the research aims to assess the indoor thermal condition of Masjid Kampung Laut, Kelantan, and the first traditional vernacular masjid in Malaysia.
