Field measurements of the thermal performance of five low cost houses in Malaysia were carried out. Thermal simulation tests were performed on two of the houses, a traditional Malay village house, and a modem urban Cluster-Link house. "Me measured and the modelled results were found to agree, indicating a significantly higher overnight internal temperature in the modem house compared to the traditional house. The model was then used to predict the thermal performance of a new design low cost house, which was shown to perform similarly to the traditional house type.
