Description
Summary:Air conditional system consumes high energy and the most of coastal resort owners install this system to avoid thermal discomfort due to the lack of sufficient wind speed in the closed area. The wind flow around the structure does affect the air change rate within the building and to promote energy saving campaign for better future, the wind originated from the sea utilization need to be maximize and replace the air-conditional system. The evaluation of wind mapping will represent the wind flow and the relation of the building density in selected case study areas. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
