Keywords: Hot humid climate, indoor environment, PRISMA, sliding window, window

Published on: 3 January 2023

Incorrect implementation of window parameters, such as configuration, position, and size, cause an unpleasant indoor environment. The authors reviewed window performance in a hot and humid climate in this paper. Articles were screened in detail to determine eligibility, compiled, and organised according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) requirements. The articles included in this review concerned natural ventilation and window performance in a hot and humid climate. Keywords or topics were reviewed and focused on indoor environment comfort. The results demonstrated that sliding windows were unfavourable openings that were nevertheless in demand. This review was performed to guide consumers, designers, and the market of the built environment industry.
