Abstract

Methods and tools for evaluating microclimate and thermal comfort in urban spaces are still lacking, if compared to the ones used for analysing analogous conditions in buildings. A study carried out by the author, and described in this paper, could contribute to the development of those methods by analysing summer thermal comfort conditions in a small square in Milan, Italy. This work was performed in two main phases: first, the software Solene was used to simulate energy fluxes between a hypothetical model of human body and the physical elements of the case study square in relation to varying model position and time of the reference day; secondly, results of the simulations were used to evaluate thermal comfort through Fanger’s method (Predicted Mean Vote, PMV), modified for outdoor spaces. The developed procedure can be used for both analysis of existing conditions in urban spaces and improvement of such conditions through design and construction actions. It could be used in designing new spaces as well. The case study boundary conditions, methodology and main results are shown in this paper.
