This research is an attempt to study and investigate the effects of sunroofs on thermal comfort in a dining area of restaurants in Ipoh, Malaysia. The main issue is how sunroof affects the comfort of the occupants in the restaurants and what are the possible methods to achieve thermal comfort by air temperature and air velocity. In this research, only three methods will be used to obtain the data to achieve the research objectives. These methods include observations, questionnaires, and anemometer readings. The two restaurants chosen to conduct this research are Plan B and Burps and Giggles, both located in Ipoh. The restaurants are distanced not more than a few meters, just next to each other.
