Enhancing cognitive performance through thermal comfort: Insights from classroom renovation at Diponegoro University
Bibliographic record
Abstract
International Undergraduate Program (IUP) of Industrial Engineering Department classrooms face challenges when the Wet-bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) reaches 27.09°C and a temperature of 32.69°C, primarily due to the extensive use of glass. Direct sunlight through glass windows can raise indoor temperature. A renovation project was initiated to enhance overall comfort by closing the glass surface using wooden material. This research aims to assess the WBGT in the classroom before and after renovation to analyze the effect of the thermal comfort increase on cognitive performance. Post-renovation measurements revealed a reduction in WBGT to 24.58°C, accompanied by a decrease in temperature and humidity. The cognitive performance is measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Cognitive performance, including response time, showed improvement after the renovation, with the introduction of plants further enhancing this effect. Beyond improving classroom comfort, the renovation also presents opportunities for energy savings by reducing reliance on air conditioning. This study demonstrates how renovations can contribute to sustainable building practices, offering both immediate educational benefits and reductions in energy consumption, particularly in tropical climates.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
