FIELD INVESTIGATION ON AIR TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION INSIDE AN ENCLOSED ARCADE WITH THE SHIELD CLOTHS(Environmental Engineering)

Abstract

In order to confirm the effect of the shield cloths, the thermal environment, especially air temperature distribution, inside an enclosed arcade with the shield cloths was investigated both in summer 2001 and 2002. At the point without the shield cloths, vertical distribution of air temperature showed a sharp slope in the upper part inside the arcade. However, at the point with the shield cloths, vertical distribution showed a blunt slope. The outside air temperature just on the arcade and under the shield cloths was higher than without the shield cloths.
