The indoor airflow distribution is the most important criteria as it will affect the thermal comfort of the occupants. This project is mainly focusing on modeling for temperature and velocity based on without and full occupancy inside lecture theatre. The simulation solution process be made up of modeling and meshing the basic geometry of the lecture theater using the ANSYS Fluent 16.0 CFD software. The intention of the project is to develop a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model that can describe the indoor airflow distribution with different number of occupancies setting in a lecture theatre and propose a suitable thermal condition for lecture theatre based on thermal comfort and environment. Many considerations have been taken to design this lecture theatre. The lecture theatre is designated with the length of the hall is 20.87 m, height 2.78 m and width 8.73 m. The velocity of the centralized air-conditioned system was setup by limitation of Malaysia Standard MS1525:2019 and varied between
