Abstract

Traditional architectural buildings may be found in major parts of Kerala and have developed through time via a steady, persistent search for optimal design. Traditional building architecture in Kerala has long been revered for its reliance on all-natural, low-tech solutions to ensure a pleasant living space. This review paper is a comprehensive investigation of these traditional architectures of the Kerala system. The inside environment is the result of several factors, including the building's orientation, the layout of its interior areas, the existence of a courtyard, the use of readily accessible local materials, the application of any unusual construction techniques, etc. Studies were carried out to conduct a quantitative study by keeping track of the building's temperature and other factors related to occupant satisfaction. The present study shows that the ambient climate management technique used in traditional Kerala building is quite efficient and have better climatic response while maintaining a comfortable internal temperature throughout the year.
