Abstract

Sustainable campus design needs comprehensive planning that considers universities’ campus as a whole: buildings and its surrounding environment. Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) is located at suburban area at Johor with well and still in progress of development due to meets demand of student facilities. The transformation of landscape and surrounding environment tends increase air temperature. Results of this factor causes to reduce the outdoor thermal comfort of student and reduce healthy level. The objective of this research is to predict the ambient temperature of reference area by using Screening Tool for Estate Environment Evaluation (STEVE Tool) and to provide the comparison of field measurement and STEVE tools. In order to achieve this objective, the daily minimum (Tmin), average (Tavg) and maximum (Tmax) air temperature for six station of this campus have been developed and validated based on a long-term field measurement. The pavement (PAVE), building (BDG), green plot area ratio (GnPR), average height area (AvgHT), sky view factor (SVF), total wall area (WALL) and result of the temperature (Tmax, Tmin and Tavg) are automatically calculated by STEVE tools from the 3D models. The results show that the percentage different of temperature between STEVE tools and field measurement is in range of 0.9-1.0% and strongly indicated STEVE tools are suitable to use as temperature prediction tool
