action by renovated their house to adapt with the condition to fulfill their needed
thermal comfort. For this study, three low-cost houses were selected with

works were conducted to study thermal comfort inside the house. Then data
were analyzed using Predict Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage of
Dissatisfied (PPD). From the data analysis, it indicated that the renovated
