| Abstract |
This study assessed the thermal environment and comfort according to change in paving and planting conditions of a covered parking lot to discuss improvement of many of culverted streams. Six alternative plans with differing paving and planting conditions for Mansu public parking lot located in Incheon were analyzed by using ENVI-met. Results show that the plan with asphalt and trees was the most effective in improving thermal comfort. Brick road was effective in reducing temperature but not in improving thermal comfort. These indicates that the results depending on the temperature and wind speed may differ from the results by the thermal comfort index, and when planning a method for improving the urban thermal environment, It suggests that consideration for thermal comfort should be given. The significance of this study is found in presenting a new alternative method for culverted streams, and conducted an analysis of urban spaces that were poorly studied centering on parking lot, which is a typical space composed of artificial paving. |
