CFD simulation using wood (Cengal and Meranti) to improve cooling effect for Malaysia green building

In this study, heat transfer investigation is done in order to improve the cooling effect for green building without
damaging the environment. This proposal is provoked by the desire to reduce the temperature for the green building and to
sustain the environment and natural resources. The building industry is also a large consumer of non-renewable materials,
and this trend has increased dramatically over the past century. To this end, we have been addressing sustainability
concerns related to building construction materials through much research approach. It applied to building elements where
we can collectively influence design, materials, construction, energy consumption and disposal. Comparison of
temperature profiles of the material in the traditional wood house and green building model by using the constant
temperature heat source and linearly varying temperature of the heat source for unsteady state is done. Also, the time for
temperature to become steady is compared. The problem will be solved by using the software package FLUENTGAMBIT.
The parameters under analysis focused on changing the influence of exterior walls in the energy consumption
for cooling the building.
