Study of Field Observation of Heat Island and Measurement Method for Thermal Environment

Abstract

This paper describes the assessment of thermal environment in an urban street canyon under the urban heat island condition. First, the latest field observation result of ambient temperature is shown. Next, computer simulations for a radiant environment in an urban street canyon are conducted, and the results of simulations are discussed. Three-dimensional radiation model of urban street canyon is used for these simulations. The simulation results show that the characteristics of radiant environment in an urban street canyon.
