Evaluation of Green Elements and Thermal Comfort Condition of Assyafaah Mosque, Singapore

A mosque is a place for worship and religious activities that are traditionally built with a typical design and shape with a dome and minaret as its traditional symbols. The most basic design of a mosque is a simple single-storey rectangular-shaped building with a prayer hall inside it. Design in th...
