Thermalscape of Ecological City and its Visualized Evaluation

摘要

When we discuss the human-centered outdoor thermal environment performance,the term thermalscape is proposed.In the evaluation of green building and ecological city area,outdoor thermal environment is one of the more important items but lack of a unified index.The universal thermal climate index(UTCI)is studied and proposed jointly by international organizations,has received more and more attention in recent years.Honeybee,the architecture performance analysis plug-in of Grasshopper platform,integrated UTCI arithmetic unit,which makes UTCI got a rapid promotion.This paper introduced the concept of thermalscape,methods of software calculation and visualization of results of UTCI,and puts forward some application ideas in architectural design.
