Pesisir Selatan is one of the districts in West Sumatra with a humid tropical climate with temperatures reaching 32 C during the day. The majority of coastal communities work as fishermen and build houses on the beach, such as in fishermen's housing in South Painan. In this area there are two models of fisherman housing, namely government-assisted fisherman housing and fisherman's original housing. Housing on the beachfront will be faced with quite extreme climatic conditions such as air velocity, air temperature, and air humidity which are relatively high on average. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the level of thermal comfort in the space in both models of fisherman housing to determine the performance of each fisherman's housing in dealing with the climate. This study uses a quantitative approach by measuring the parameters of thermal comfort, namely air temperature, humidity and air velocity using a thermohygrometer and anemometer. The data collection method uses descriptive quantitative. Comfort level is evaluated based on the Indonesian national standard (SNI 03-6572-2001) and adaptive thermal comfort. Based on the results of the study, the level of thermal comfort in both models of fisherman housing is classified as uncomfortable according to SNI 03-6572-2001 and adaptive thermal comfort. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
