CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) as a building material could help lower the carbon footprint of construction projects. Thermal performance and comfort in CLT buildings as a place to work are very important for optimizing comfort and work quality using CLT buildings. In winter conditions, measure and review is very necessary to optimize the desired building according to the standard level of comfort when working. The aims of this research is to measure and review indoor thermal comfort of CLT building during winter, with the case study Meldia Research Institute for Advanced Wood, Fukuoka, Kitakyushu. This research method involves measuring indoor temperature intensity in winter to understand how CLT buildings can achieve an optimal balance of thermal comfort. The results of measurements using PMV analysis of both rooms with the HVAC on at a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius are that the PMV value tends from a Slightly warm condition (+1) to a Neutral (0) at each measurement time and at all points. Room 1 has the highest PMV value between slightly cool (-0.5) to Slightly warm (+1), while room 2 has the lowest value between Cool (-2) to Slightly warm (+1). These findings can guide building designers in developing architectural solutions that are sustainable and focus on occupant well-being. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
