This invention addresses the challenge of thermal comfort in hot-humid tropical climates, where factors like solar radiation, humidity, and air temperature significantly affect indoor conditions. The patented hybrid attic ventilation technique operates continuously over 24 hours to improve ventilation in attics, which are crucial for maintaining overall building thermal performance. Field studies comparing a traditional attic setup with one utilizing the hybrid ventilation system were conducted in two typical one-storey terrace houses. Using Building Information Modeling (BIM) for energy consumption analysis, the results indicated that the hybrid system reduced indoor temperature by 1°C and relative humidity by 7%, leading to a notable 10% reduction in overall energy consumption. This innovative hybrid technique demonstrates enhanced thermal comfort and energy efficiency by leveraging both nighttime and daytime ventilation, making it a sustainable solution for residential buildings in tropical regions.
