Is High Urban Landscaping or High Urban Albedo More Effective for Urban Heat Island Mitigation? : Simulation Analysis on Effects of Urban Landscaping and High Albedo Envelope on Urban Microclimate in Osaka
Abstract:Urban planning, building design and landscaping can all provide strategies for the urban heat island (UHI) mitigation and directly affect people's living environment and thermal comfort. In order to better improve the urban microclimate through rational building envelope design and landscaping, an example of a new residential area with 10,000 m 2 floor area located in Osaka, Japan is examined. The effect of urban green covering (UGC), urban albedo (UA) and urban aspect ratio (UAR) on urban microclimate was inv… Show more
