Fundamental Study on Building Arrangement to Maximize Thermal Acceptability of Outdoors at Different Latitudes Part 2: The Change of Outdoor Thermal Environment in Different Building Arrangements in Guangzhou and Sendai

摘要

This paper is the continuation of the previous one (Part 1). Firstly, the cooling effects of building shade in different building arrangements are investigated by focusing on the distributions of surface temperature and MRT (mean radiation temperature) at 1.5m. Then, based on the combined effects of urban ventilation and sun-shading, the optimal building arrangements in Guangzhou and Sendai (shown in Fig. 1) are determined.
