Research on Microclimate Influencing Factors and Thermal Comfort ...
This paper aims to comprehensively and systematically analyze the various factors affecting the microclimate of old residential areas and propose targeted optimization strategies. By doing so, it seeks to provide both theoretical support and practical guidance for enhancing the living environment of residents and improving overall urban livability.
psychological factors that also influence outdo or thermal comfort. To establish the c onditions of thermal comfort in outdoor spaces for the users and the overall quality of life in urban areas.
Analysis of the Relationship Between Microclimate and Building ...
This study provides fundamental data for optimal planning by analyzing key factors influencing microclimate and building energy loads. * to provide fundamental data for optimal planning. A total of 11 apartment layout types, including tower-type, flat-type, and mixed-type configurations, were analyzed using ENVI-met simulations. The results indicate that layout types significantly influence ...
Abstract In order to study the impact of outdoor microclimate on the indoor performance, two high-rise multi-family dwellings in two residential estates in Beijing were selected for one-year indoor performance measurement. The air temperature of different rooms and the corresponding cooling and heating energy consumption were measured.
The main influence factors on microclimate explained
Main factors that influence the perceived microclimate , especially in cities. How do radiation, reflection, shade, evapotranspiration from trees, wind velocity and air temperature influence how hot a place feels.
1.1. Microclimatic Design Numerous studies in the literature database have investigated the effects of urban design elements on open-space microclimates in a variety of urban environments and climates. However, these studies frequently lack a comparison basis for determining the relative importance of factors in each urban setting [5].
UNDERSTANDING MICROCLIMATES IN ARCHITECTURE Archi
Introduction Microclimates are small-scale areas with distinct climate conditions that differ from the surrounding climate. They are influenced by factors such as topography, vegetation, surface materials, water bodies, and human activity. In architecture, microclimates play an important role in determining the comfort, energy efficiency, sustainability, and aesthetics of buildings.
Abstract This paper explores the influence of microclimates on changes in air temperature and the often-overlooked aspect of their effect on energy savings across varying microclimatic conditions. The study compares the cooling energy requirements of two identical single-story buildings in distinct microclimates : one characterized by concrete ground devoid of shade and the other featuring soil ...
Urban microclimate and climate change impact on the ...
The novel contribution of this paper consists in using the future-urban weather file as input to microclimate simulations, to investigate the impact of the buildings' shape and urban context on the air flow and surface temperatures distribution and if these microclimate modifications have negative impacts on the indoor environment.
The study begins with a comprehensive review of the latest methods for incorporating urban microclimate data into urban building energy models, addressing both methodological approaches and practical issues. Subsequently, the research evaluates the effects of urban microclimate on building energy performance, considering both individual buildings and urban-scale contexts. To address the ...
