The effect of various urban design parameter in alleviating urban heat island and improving thermal health—a case study in a built pedestrianized block of China

Increasing urban heat island and global warming have aroused serious thermal environmental problems even harm people’s health. Because of the importance in daily life, a commercial pedestrianized block represents symbol city or metropolis; therefore, focusing attention on environment such regions is very necessary. Most researches are calculated by remote sensing data; limited low spatial resolution image, it may not obviously reflect true research site, especially some microscale regions. Based this, new software ENVI-met developed to forecast sensation region. Therefore, objective this study aims at conducting field measurement numerical simulation assess typical space southern China different design parameters ameliorating effect. Our final results demonstrate quantitative evidence for establishing comprehensive standard improving region, also can be supplementary about
