Environmental technology deals with the art and science of building’s performance in relation to its
surroundings that include climate, site, and the use of resources. The discipline can be categorized
into 3 major fields: thermal science, lighting, and acoustics. For most architectural education
systems, thermal science is taught as a rudimentary course for the others. It consists of the
fundamental science in energy conservation such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, and
psychrometrics, as well as its application to architectural design. In other words, thermal science is
an inter-disciplinary area between mechanical engineering and architecture.
Climate and site are considered the keys for the study of thermal science. Architectural elements
that well respond to the climate and site will not only save a great deal of the world’s limited
resources, especially energy, but also function as expressive elements in architectural design.
Since ancient times, these elements demonstrate the identity for vernacular architecture around
the world.
Climatically, Thailand is located in the hot-humid tropical area. Like those in the other areas of the
world, its climate and settings govern architectural design in the region. Tropical Design is
