Four design parameters of passive cooling elements were taken as case studies, namely as glazing type, side air vent outlet horizontal flow angle, center air vent outlet vertical flow angle and location of air vent outlet. All the case studies were simulated for steady state cooling process in a simplified Proton Wira passenger compartment with occupants. 3D simulations using FLUENT was used to obtain the air flow and temperature distributions in the passenger compartment. The first part of the study is to optimize the air velocity and temperature distributions based on parameters of passive cooling elements. The second part of the study is to analyze thermal comfort in passenger comfort in passenger compartment based on range of equivalent temperature, and draught rating, DR experienced by occupants. Standard and optimized passive cooling element had been treated as case studies in thermal comfort study. Increasing shading coefficient, SC of windscreen glasses reduce solar radiation entering passenger compartment. Therefore, glazing with lower SC has severe effect on optimizing thermal comfort. Horizontal flow angle have small effect on optimizing thermal comfort. Occupants are seated in comfort range with standard and optimized passive cooling elements zulaihi UTM 158 p.
