Abstract
This paper describes how far the thermal comfort in traditional Javanese house and its
comparison with thermal comfort in a contemporary house.
Comparisons are made not based on field measurements, but only from computer
simulations using the Ecotect programme. Results shows that the direction oriented to the
south, clay tile roof material, one brick wall, ceramics tile floors, traditional house model,
setting the building situated in a courtyard, showing maximum thermal comfort than the
direction toward the west, concrete tile material, half-brick walls, ceramics tile floor,
contemporary house models, setting the building is located to be very closed to a neighbor's
house.
From the simulation results generated from the difference of traditional houses and
contemporary houses quite thin. Both of the average annual temperature and the results of
changing the orientation of the building. Differences in the presence of ventilation was also
not significant. Differences due to aspects of the openings are also not significant. So that it
can be concluded from the simulation for both traditional and contemporary get the same
results. Only the thermal comfort the traditional house better than contemporary house.
Keyword: thermal comfort, traditional house, contemporary house.
