    This document introduces the topic of temperature and how it varies based on location and seasons. It discusses how tropical countries experience extreme heat, particularly near the equator. In the Philippines, high temperatures in Manila can reach 36.8°C with a heat index of 40.3°C. Prolonged exposure to heat can cause exhaustion, dehydration, and heat stroke. To address this problem, air conditioners were invented in 1902 by Willis Carrier to control humidity and temperature indoors. Many buildings install air conditioning units, but a commercial building in Manila struggles to maintain comfortable cooling when occupancy is high due to excess latent heat from people and outside air.

    CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION
    1.1 The Project

    Temperature is a measurement of hotness and coldness. Temperature varies because of change in


    altitude and heat coming from the sun. Hence, different seasons are used depending on the position of
    the Earth in its orbit. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter are the seasons that usually occurs on the
    north part of the earth. On the other hand, tropical countries like the Philippines only has wet season and
    dry season. Tropical countries suffer from extreme heat especially countries near the equator where
    concentrated sunrays mostly pass through.

    In the Philippines, heat is unbearable during summers. Specifically, in Manila, the highest temperature
    recorded by PAG-ASA for the year 2018 was 36.8°C and has a heat index of 40.3°C. Heat index is the
    apparent temperature that the skin or human can feel or perceive. Long term exposure to heat may cause
    exhaustion, dehydration, and even heat stroke. Heat affects the workforce of a country since its workers
    will experience exhaustion at a much faster rate.

    In line with this problem, engineers had developed a solution that will make the air cooler and controlled.
    Air conditioners was introduced in the year 1902 by Wills Haviland Carrier. Carrier’s design was used to
    improve a printing plant where through the use of air-conditioner, he managed to control the humidity
    and temperature that allows the paper and ink alignment to be consistent.

    A building that is usually filled with people may get crowded and suffocated if the air is not controlled
    properly. With this, most building installs air-conditioning units to keep a cool and well-maintained air
    inside the building. St. Thomas Square, a commercial building in Espanya , Manila, uses sets of
    conditioners to maintain a comfort cooling. When there are a large group of people in the building, the
    air-conditioner cannot maintain the temperature and humidity due to the latent heat that is given by the
    human body and outside air. This causes a problem for daily operation as a commercial building.
