It has been observed that existing
low income group (LIG) houses are inefficient to provide thermal comfort in
Raipur, Chhattisgarh. This makes more dependency on cooling equipment to
achieve thermal comfort which leads to more energy consumption. The objective
of the present work is to investigate and enhance the thermal comfort of LIG
house by passive cooling techniques. Different cases considered in the present
study are, the effect of windows, green roof and green walls and shaded wall
etc. on the indoor temperature of LIG house on May 20, 2016. Results concluded
that at summer during the early morning, when the outside temperature is lower
than the inside temperature, it reduces the room temperature but insufficient
to provide thermal comfort. It is also concluded that providing green roof
along with green walls enhance the indoor temperature of the house.
