THE ASSESSMENT OF INDOOR THERMAL COMFORT IN A BUILDING A CASE STUDY OF LEMAR, SALAMIS ROAD, FAMAGUSTA, CYPRUS

Abstract: Due to the large amount of fossil fuel being used up to achieve thermal comfort, the future of a healthy environment looks uncertain. To conserve fossil fuel energy and resources used to enhance indoor thermal comfort and reduce the incidence of global warming, calls for better understanding and application of passive design strategies and use of climate sensitive designs. This study is based on the assessment of the indoor thermal comfort in LEMAR as a case study. Mall design is an important aspect to be considered by many as it environment may influence the health and productivity of its occupants and visitors. Health symptoms like fatigue, headache, tiredness and aggressiveness are common scenario faced by people due to bad thermal comfort condition.

However, the following objectives should be considered;

• The thermal comfort level in LEMAR based on an objective and subjective evaluation,
• The relationship between the physical characteristics of the spaces and both objective and subjective analysis of the thermal comfort level.

Keywords: Thermal Comfort, Passive Design Strategy, Environmental Quality.
