This study aims to analyze and summarize architectural design guidelines for hot and humid climates
through a case study of residential buildings for professors and government officials at Rajamangala University
of Technology Isan, Nakhon Ratchasima, during the modern era. The study addressed various issues and
utilized WIND MEE software to simulate indoor air ventilation. The findings revealed that designs focusing on
natural ventilation through large openings and strategically positioned airflow paths help reduce heat during
hot seasons and create a comfortable environment for users. Additionally, the use of moisture-resistant
materials and energy conservation are crucial factors in the design process. The results from this study
contribute guidelines for designing architecture suitable for hot and humid climates, serving as a pathway for
future building developments.
