Study on Outdoor Thermal Comfort Among Outdoor Workers in UiTM Shah Alam

Abstract

This study focuses on evaluating outdoor thermal comfort within a university campus, specifically for outdoor workers, such as police campus officers. Given the prolonged periods spent outdoors, especially managing traffic flow, addressing outdoor thermal comfort is crucial for their health, productivity, and overall well-being. Prolonged exposure to hot and humid conditions can result in adverse health effects. The study aims to measure the thermal environment status of outdoor workers' activities systematically, emphasizing the importance of ensuring safe and comfortable working conditions. This assessment involves measuring environmental factors and workers’ subjective responses to effectively manage and provide optimal comfort to the extent feasible.
