It is not well understood how physical environmental conditions, such as temperature and relative humidity, and human lifestyles and behaviors affect indoor microorganisms. To understand the relationship between physical environmental conditions and microbial communities in the human living environment, we measured temperature and relative humidity and collected microbial samples in modern and traditional Japanese houses.

Standardized hourly climatic data from 2014 to 2020, including global horizontal irradiance, air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, total cloud cover, and mixing ratio, collected from 106 sites were used for climate zoning in Indonesia.

The comfort ventilation potential was assessed based on a zoning using a combination of air temperature and wind speed characteristics, while the evaporative cooling potential was assessed based on the combination of relative humidity and wind speed characteristics.

Second, eight integrated climate zones namely, equatorial, sub-equatorial, highland tropical, very highland tropical, monsoonal, sub-monsoonal, savanna, and sub-savanna, were determined based on principal component analysis, cluster analysis, and spatial interpolation methods. Third, the calculation of cooling degree days and cooling loads followed by the calculation of the potentials for night ventilation, comfort ventilation, and evaporative cooling were carried out in each integrated climate zone.
