Deduction of Optimum Surface Design Factors for Enhancement of Outdoor Thermal Environment in a Micro-Scale Unit

Abstract: Abstract:To solve some of the problems associated with changing urban climates, such as the heat island effect, the exterior building skin and ground surfaces should be analyzed because they are directly exposed to the outdoor climate and have the greatest impact on energy consumption. Research is needed to identify design factors to improve the effect of a building's skin in the outdoor summer season's thermal environment. In this study, the current conditions of outdoor thermal environments were identified b… Show more

“…These strategies help reduce air temperatures by increasing urban albedo reflecting solar radiation, evaporation absorbing heat, and air flow for ventilation. A number of previous studies have also broadly explored the roles of albedo [6,7], vegetation [8,9], and air flow [5,10] to moderate air temperature at the microclimate level, as well as in cases of the UHI effect.…”

“…The image appearing in the bibliographical research is highly complex. The reviewed conceptual models included many variables, most of which were related to factors directly affecting the health of the inhabitants (Jensen, 2020, 95-112), such as air humidity (Psomas, Teli, Langer, 2021,198), noise (Szczepańska, Senetra, Wasilewicz-Pszczółkowska, 2020, 801), lighting (Moadab, Olsson, Fischl, 2021, 244), and the thermal environment (Jung, Yoon, 2017). Particularly noteworthy are the studies by Kadhim and Ubaid (2021, 1067), which dealt with the impact of a pandemic on the perception of architectural interiors by people who are isolated for a long time and exposed to stress from epidemiological threats.…”

“…Many scientific researches and public actions were attempted for a long time [1]. Recently, detailed analysis on the climatic impact of urban design has attracted academic interest with enhancement of simulation techniques; examples include the desirable exterior design for improving outdoor thermal environment [2], developing the guidelines to enhance the ventilation performance of existing buildings with studying vernacular architecture [3], the use of air ventilation in urban areas in order to reduce the occurrence of urban heat islands [4][5][6][7], improving pedestrian comfort [8,9], and urban designs that consider the impact of sunlight and wind [10]. Most previous studies have investigated warm regions; however, winter cities require a different approach [11,12].…”
