Design studios in Architecture schools are generally used as workspace for the students to perform project related activities and often present the outcomes in front of course teachers, jurors and invited experts. Therefore, everyone in the studio rightfully expects to have a thermally comfortable environment for the avoidance of tiresome and exhausting conditions after a certain time period, which may create harm to individuals’ body and mind (Trisha, 2015). During summer, direct solar radiation through windows can cause overheating in the room, resulting in thermal discomfort with increased cooling loads in the climatic context of Bangladesh (Shikder, 2010). Designed windows would successfully be used, to address this issue of balancing luminous and thermal comfort in architecture design studios. This research focuses the potential of different window configurations in keeping occupants’ satisfaction towards thermal comfort in architecture design studios. A passive trend of window category from available window configurations, that is only suitable for specific climatic regions, i.e. in tropical countries, such as Bangladesh, can be a significant building design element to satisfy human thermal comfort in architecture design studios. Strategies for ensuring a combination of thermal conditions in architecture design studios should be established in designing process. To achieve this aim, following objectives have been developed. • To predict PMV-PPD for different available window configurations in the climatic context of Bangladesh in architecture design studios. • To find out the best possible window category from the window configurations for ensuring human comfort during design studio works.
