Optimizing Alternative Wind Power For Energy Efficient Building Design In Tropical Bot-Humid Climate Of Malaysia.
Masters thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
Located near the Equator, Malaysia has a great advantage of solar energy as it
abundantly available and people making use of it using solar photovoltaic to generate
electricity. Malaysian wind however is light, variable and calm making it unreliable as
an alternative energy and too low to naturally ventilate indoor spaces. As the result, most
Malaysians resorted to use air-conditioning systems to achieve thermal comfort thus
avoiding polluted air. The modem fully air-conditioned buildings are creating urban heat
islands hence contributing to global warming.
