Natural resources that can provide better thermal comfort condition in warm and humid climate are natural ventilation and better shading performances. The effectiveness of natural ventilation and shading performance is determined by prevailing outdoor microclimate conditions and surrounding building envelops. This study investigates the thermal comfort performance in medium-rise residential apartment building through natural ventilation approach. This study was conducted at national games village, a G+6 storied residential apartment complex of Guwahati. Computer simulation is done using ENVI MET 4.0 microclimate software to calculate the parameters of air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and surface temperature surfaces. After analysing the data's of each condition, the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) has been obtained by using ENVI MET 4.0. The result shows that optimum WFR of 16.65% as proposed by GMDA bye-laws is not sufficient to lower air temperature as compared to the outside ambient temperature. However, in the case of applying natural ventilation strategies, comfort condition is achieved at night only. Keywords— Natural ventilation, thermal comfort, Warm and humid climate, building form
