An enclosed demolition method for high-rise buildings is developed by the authors. It is expected that this method improves the thermal environment of demolition work-space by blocking direct solar radiation. This paper describes the results of a thermal environment evaluation based on field measurements and numerical simulations. Blocking of direct solar radiation significantly decreases WBGT in the work-space. Moreover, openings that are designed to promote natural ventilation help exhaust high-temperature air from work-space efficiently. Based on the results, it is believed that this enclosed method decrease the risk of heat stroke for demolition site workers.
