Abstract

We describe the measured air-conditioning and thermal performance of a typical Thai single-family residence. Although the measurements represent a single case study, it is the first time that an analysis has been performed on a Thai house with typical modern construction. In such buildings, the lack of building thermal insulation, the utilization of non-ducted air-conditioning equipment and the night-only usage patterns are quite different from conditions prevailing in Western-style buildings. Our results show that reduction to ceiling heat transfer in residential Thai buildings is fundamental to improving cooling energy efficiency.††The study is part of the Residential Energy Efficiency Project (REEP) dealing with a larger effort by the World Bank to promote energy efficiency in Thailand. The intent of this project is to evaluate potential cooling energy saving measures for Thailand's residential sector.
