| Summary: | A good quality of student learning is affected by the thermal comfort of the classroom. Thermal comfort in the classroom can improve concept understanding, problem solving and learning attitudes. This implies that comfort air is much needed in the classroom where activity is done.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation is carried out on 4101 FMAE ITB classroom model. The simulation’s conditions are varied for the number of students as many as 51 people and 91 people and also that the fan is turned on and turned off. The purpose of this undergraduate final project is to determine the condition of the classroom that cause thermal discomfort based on ASHRAE and SNI standards. In addition, the need for mechanical system installation and the layout design of the system will be determined and also its air conditioning simulation will be carried out if thermal comfort is not achieved.
Based on the simulation results of the current classroom air conditioning that uses fan as its mechanical ventilation system, there are some points that do not achieve thermal comfort based on ASHRAE and SNI standard. Therefore, additional mechanical ventilation system installation like Air Conditioning (AC) is needed to achieve thermal comfort in the classroom. The selected AC specifications are two LG T19EV4 split AC units with the thermal power capacity of 5,275 kW each and one Daikin FXUQ71A ceiling suspended unit with the thermal power capacity of 8 kW. The result of air conditioning simulation with the installation of these three AC units shows that thermal comfort in the classroom can be achieved.
