PENGUKURAN KENYAMANAN TERMAL PADA MASJID FADLURRAHMAN UNIVERSITAS MUHAMMADIYAH SURAKARTA

Abstract

The mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam, so its use can bring comfort to its adherents at all times of worship. The different forms of worship of Muslims make it a habit to use the mosque at least 5 times per day, namely morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Therefore, the design of the mosque building must meet these needs. The problematic space in the mosque (prayer room) will adversely affect the comfort of worshiping the congregation. The test is carried out from morning to night with 5 times of prayer, namely: (1) at 04.40; (2) at 12.30; (3) at 3:45 p.m.; (4) at 18.30; and (5) at 19.40. This thermal test is carried out by measuring temperature, humidity and wind speed at 35 measuring points. Temperature measurement is carried out using a digital measuring instrument, namely the Digital Humidity and Thermometer (Model LM-81HT) to measure air humidity and air temperature. Meanwhile, to measure wind speed, a Digital Anemometer (Model LM-81AM) was used. The measurement results of this study are the Fadlurrahman Mosque is not able to reduce the temperature in the room. The comfort zone category can be achieved for the moving air category, because the measurement results show that the average temperature is 28.72 °C and the average wind speed is 1.53 m/s
