| Abstract |
This study aims at examining how building arrangements and shapes affect summer air temperature distributions and by executing the wind tunnel experiment, it examined three dimensional temperature distributions formed in orderly arranged low-rise buildings. Horizontal and vertical temperature distributions were shown as contours and the relationships between air temperature distributions and air flow characteristics in the canopy were examined. Also, urban heat island phenomenon alleviating effects following wind road formations are shown quantitatively and regarding measures against urban temperature-rising in summer, block planning and open space design which can accelerate heat diffusion along with reductions in sensible heat generation were presented. |
