ABSTRACT: Thermal factor is one of the main factors of the green building
concept. The purpose of this research is to test building performance through
design aspect that influences thermal comfort, the design aspects include:
orientation, building type, and position of the flat. Method used in this
research is covariance analysis, testing the influence of factor variable toward
respond variable (indoor temperature) with taking outdoor temperature as
concomitant variable. The cases tested on this research are Cigugur Tengah,
Industri Dalam, and Sarijadi flats. Result of covariance analysis shows that the building orientation
factor variable is most influentially variable toward thermal comfort, compared
with building type factor variable; even the unit position factor variable has no significant
influence toward thermal comfort.
