The arrival of Europeans in the early fifteenth century had a great impact on building construction in Indonesia. The material and spatial concepts of European buildings were completely different from those of the Indonesian indigenous people. With the passage of time, it proved that building designs imitated from existing European buildings could not be used directly in the tropical climate of Indonesia. This led to the development of buildings that were adapted to the local context. Secondly, this chapter shows the results of a field measurement conducted in a Dutch colonial building in the city of Bandung. The results showed that, overall, daytime indoor air temperatures in the building maintained relatively low values compared to the corresponding outdoor temperature mainly due to the thermal mass effect. Other passive cooling strategies found from the measurement include night ventilation, use of corridor spaces, high ceilings, and permanent openings above windows/doors.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Building construction,Field measurement,Indigenous people,Indoor air temperature,Night ventilation,Outdoor temperature,Spatial concepts,Tropical climates[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-8465-2_2[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
