Old buildings are having higher thermal comfort than new buildings but there may be several restrictions when properties of those type of buildings are using.so attention is paid to identify the effective passive techniques in old buildings.
Background
2
To study on various passive techniques used in old buildings.
To measure the comfortable conditions inside the building.
To find out the possibilities and limitations of adopting these techniques in modern buildings.
Objectives of the research
3
To study effect of floor to floor height and wall Color of old buildings and to analyze how it performs in modern buildings .(K.C Tharanga , 070488M )
To study effect of wall thickness and walling material of old buildings and to analyze how it performs in modern buildings .(Molagoda T.N, 070376L )
To study effect of window material of old buildings and to analyze how it performs in modern buildings .(R.N.P.N Rathnayake , 070403C)
Independent objectives

MethodologySelected Five suitable old buildings from tropical
area
Selected Two buildings out of five buildings by preliminary surveying
Temperature ,humidity and physical dimensions data collected
7
Methodology (Cont.…)
Modeled buildings using DEROB and calibrate d the models until it reached to original model
Used properties after calibration and analyzed passive techniques with adding one by one to
DEROB software
Analyzed results from DEROB , Life cycle cost analysis and conclusion
8
Suitable Building Selection Factors considered in suitable building selection:-Thermal comfort inside the buildingThe construction season of the of the buildingPresent condition of the buildingNumber of passive techniques usedAvailability of the building for the measurementsEnvironmental condition of that area

Temperature results has been taken after doing following individual changes.450mm earth wall instead of 230mm brick wall White color walls instead of Dark color wallsPlaced a courtyard in west direction4.2m Floor to Floor Height Instead of 3m Unpaved Ground Instead of Concrete paving Blocks Wood Windows Instead of Glass WindowsUse “Merata Ulu” for Roof Instead of Normal Calicut Tiles
Sample 450mm earth wall instead of 230mm brick wall
26
Changing Several Building Features together
The Roof properties changed in to old building properties
Floor to floor height is 4.2m
350mm thick rammed earth wall
External wall are white in color
Window material is hard wood
Unpaved ground

Cost of construction – BSR -2011Cost of A/C- Rs. 8/= per 1kwhSelected Passive Features For Cost Analysis1)Change Wall Thickness and Material 2)Change wall colors3)Floor to Floor Height4)Window Material
1. Change Wall Thickness and Material

NPV Variation For Total Cost per 1m2 of Floor Area
2. Change wall colors

NPV Variation For Total Cost per 1m2 of Floor Area
3. Floor to Floor Height

NPV Variation For Total Cost per 1m2 of Floor Area
CONCLUSIONSAfter replacing 230mm thick brick wall with
450mm earth and stone wall, temperature is dropped by about 1.10C
Total NPV is lesser for 450mm earth and stone walls than 230mm burnt clay brick wall
Construction cost is also lesser in 450mm earth and stone walls than 230mm burnt clay brick walls.
After replacing dark color brick walls by white color brick walls, it can be identified that temperature is dropped by about 1.30C
34
CONCLUSIONS (Cont.…)
Total NPV values are lesser for white color walls than dark color walls
After replacing 3.0m height wall by 4.2m wall it can be identified that temperature is dropped by about 1.70C
But Construction cost is higher for 4.2m walls and also A/C cost is increased because volume increasing
After replacing glass windows by wood windows it can be identified that temperature was dropped by about 3.80C
35
CONCLUSIONS (Cont.…)Construction costs are also lesser for wood
windowsBut it can be affected for visual comfort
36
This research can be usedTo identify the effect of passive techniques in
tropical climate.To compare the effect of each passive
technique with respect to other passive techniques.
To identify the Practicality of adopting passive techniques in presents society.
To identify the most effective passive techniques to increase the thermal comfort.
To identify the effect of construction materials in passive buildings.
37
Cont.…To identify the effective thickness for passive
building and earth construction.To identify the cost for adopting a passive
technique to a building.
This research can be used to develop Sri Lankan guidelines related to economical passive building construction.
