Summary: | The chapter discusses the met
hodology used in investigating th
e optimum geometric shape high-
rise built form and effectiveness of self-shaded high-rise built form for hot and humid climate.
The discussion is divided into two phases. Phase
one consists of case study of the generic high-
rise building shape in Kuala Lumpur and adapta
tion of self-shading stra
tegy in high-rise built
form. Three base models are developed based on the above said studie
s. Second phase reviews
the research methodologies used
by previous researchers. The
justification of the selected
methodology of this study is elaborated. Finally, the experimental procedures, limitations and
overall sequence of the experimental method are di
scussed. There is lack of research on the solar
radiation prevention especially in
equatorial tropics. The devel
opment of self-shaded high-rise
built form to achieve maximum reduction of solar isolation on its external exposed surface is
crucial. Impact of solar radiation on the external
surfaces of high-rise is important to determining
the optimum geometric shape and
adaptation of self shading stra
tegy into high-rise building
design. The shading strategy is more
efficient if able to apply at
the early stag
e of high rise
building design. Since it is in
the early stages, the most significant deci
sions are easily and
appropriately made regarding sizing, form, pl
acement and orientation of the building volume. |
