Investigation of Convective Heat Transfer of a Multi-Story Building and its Effect to the Comfort of Residents in Metro Manila

Abstract

The study aims to investigate convective heat transfer in multi-story buildings in Metro Manila and its impact on residents' thermal comfort. The increasing demand for residential construction in Metro Manila has resulted in a higher concentration of buildings and paved surfaces, which exacerbate the city's hot and humid climate. This study aims to identify factors that contribute to convective heat transfer, such as building design, insulation, and ventilation, and assess their impact on energy consumption and indoor air quality. The research will provide insights into effective strategies for reducing energy consumption and improving indoor temperature conditions, resulting in more comfortable and sustainable living environments for residents.
