Abstract

This article is an experimental research aimed to study the architectural elements of
traditional Thai houses that enhance ventilation and have been applied in contemporary Thai
houses. The method of the study was based on the simulation by means of a Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD) program. The study was conducted on the traditional 2-story single Thai
houses and the contemporary 2-story single houses, the usage space of which did not exceed 150
square meters. Three factors were investigated: building planning, openings, and roof-ceiling factors.

The study was performed in 3 parts: Part 1 - comparing the ventilation between traditional Thai
houses and contemporary Thai houses, Part 2 - studying the architectural elements that affect
ventilation, and Part 3 - applying the traditional Thai house elements in contemporary Thai houses.
The study showed that the average airflow velocity of the traditional Thai houses was at 33.3%
higher than that of the contemporary Thai houses. After applying the traditional Thai house
elements in the contemporary Thai houses, the airflow velocity increased at 51.4%, showing
improved wind circulation in the houses.
