Abstract
Humans need certain room conditions that are considered comfortable to be able to work properly and productively. Comfortable room conditions include thermal comfort, visual comfort and audio comfort. This study discusses the condition of thermal comfort and its relationship with the building facade, in a case study of the 5th floor cubical room of the Universitas Negeri Medan digital library building. Data retrieval was carried out using quantitative methods, namely measuring temperature, air flow and humidity at 3 different times (morning, afternoon, and evening) in the cubical room on the 5th floor of the Universitas Negeri Medan digital library building. Then the field data was analyzed using Autodesk Vasari software to compare the measurement results with thermal comfort standards. The final output of the research is a facade design recommendation on the 5th floor cubical room of the Universitas Negeri Medan digital library which is expected to increase thermal comfort in the building.
