Analisis Tingkat Kenyamanan Termal di Lantai Produksi Pabrik Mie Aceh H. Jamil

Abstract

Thermal comfort is a condition in which a person feels comfortable with the temperature of their environment. Thermal comfort in the workplace, especially in the food processing industry, is influenced by temperature, humidity, air velocity, and heat radiation. Uncomfortable conditions can increase the risk of health problems for workers, such as fatigue, dehydration, and heat stress. This study was conducted on the production floor of the UMKM Mie Aceh H Jamil which has a high working temperature and poor ventilation. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of thermal comfort on the production floor and provide suggestions for improvements to achieve thermal comfort. The research method uses a quantitative approach by measuring thermal parameters on the production floor and analyzing them using the CBE Thermal Comfort Tool software to calculate PMV and PPD values. The results of the analysis show that the thermal conditions on the production floor are not yet comfortable. Proposed improvements are focused on improving ventilation and regulating air temperature on the production floor.
