has a major effect on the performance of the building and its energy
consumption. The
traditional houses in the coastal region of Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu in India
located in a warm humid zone represent a unique phenomenon with unique device
capable to meet the comfort demand through environmental well adapted design.
The traditional house and modern house in the coastal region of Nagappattinam
are examined by comparing the thermal performance within the same outdoor
condition and the climatic region of Nagappattinam. In this paper, a simplified thermal comparison of a
traditional house with a contemporary house have been given by using only data
derived from the measurements This paper represents that the traditional houses in the
