Zusammenfassung:This study investigates microclimatic variations and thermal comfort in a residential community in Japan through comprehensive simulation evaluations with consideration of building facade albedo, vegetation along streets and global climate change scenarios, offering suggestions for next phase of community agreement revision. The research evaluates the impact of factors such as wind speed, potential air temperature, relative humidity, mean radiant temperature on local microclimate. Results emphasize the role of local park in mitigating high temperatures and enhancing thermal comfort. Additionally, the method of study is potential for conducting simulations for revising community agreement for a preliminary phase in diverse regions.
