This paper presents the results of research focusing on thermal comfort at outdoor spaces
in humid tropical climate. The study was conducted in the city of Manado, Indonesia in
the years 2011 and 2012, by way of field-experimentation and measurements of microclimate.
From the results of measurements and questionnaires, it was carried out
development of regression equations. Through statistical analysis it has been generated
three thermal comfort equations for outdoor, which each for normal walking, brisk
walking, and sitting with doing a moderate activity. Equations are functions of Ta(air
temperature), Tg(globe temperature), v(wind velocity), RH(Relative humidity) and
Adu(body surface area). The output of the equations is scale of thermal comfort level
referring to PMV (Predicted Mean Vote), where 0 is comfortable or neutral, +3 is very
hot, -2 is cold, .etc. The equations are uniquely for the people wearing tropical clothing
type (about 0.5 to 0.7 clo). The validation of the equations was done through comparison
with other equations that originated from the studies of non-tropical humid climates.
Simulations using the equations were also be done in order to know effect of micro
climate on outdoor thermal comfort.

Green Building as the concept of environmentally friendly building design is positioned to restrain the rate of increase in greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Buildings suspected to contribute to more than 30% of carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Any productive activity measured to be equal to the production of kilograms of CO2 equivalent. Many of countries committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to support sustainable development through clean development mechanism. Indonesia, which produces about 1.5 tons of carbon emissions per capita in 2006, even plans to reduce CO2 emissions by 26% in the period 2010 to 2020 including the building sector. Building with Green Building concept is expected to contribute to withstand even reduce the rate of increase of CO2 production on earth. This paper describes how and how big the contribution of Green Building opportunity in reducing carbon emissions, especially for the case of residential houses in Indonesia (A type of 70 m2 house).
Carbon emission from housing sector mostly is due to human discomfort, waste, electricity consumption, cement and transportation from house to the schools, offices and market place.
The success of Green Building also depends on other development sectors such as manufacturing of building materials, industrial waste treatment, energy, transportation, and land use / land use regulations and attitudes or behavior of building user.
