Study on the Layout of Public Space in Multistory Settlements Based on Outdoor Thermal Environment in Hot-Summer and Cold-Winter Regions of China

Residential public spaces are closely intertwined with residents’ lives as the outdoor thermal environment significantly influences comfort and safety of activities. However, in modern designs, factors such forms, aesthetics functionalities often take precedence, resulting neglect microclimate settlement’s spaces. In this paper, we established a workflow “parametric simulation-performance simulation-genetic optimization”. By employing octopus genetic algorithm tool, conducted experiments on typical model set objectives to optimize winter sunshine duration well during summer winter. The results indicated that average value UTCI was optimized for both This study concludes altering layout is beneficial microclimate. Additionally, presence evenly distributed open node throughout settlement can improve ventilation all areas while also protecting it against cold dissipation heat. Moreover, advisable position larger spaces, plazas, south or southeast. number should gradually decrease size from southeast northwest prevents excessive winds traversing
