Evaluating the impacts of urban form on the microclimate in the dense areas

Abstract

Urban form is consisting of several complex parameters which can affect urban microclimate in the energy calculations; most importantly the geometry of buildings, streets andcanopies. This study with a novel design-based approach generates 400 urban forms in the context of a dense urban area to evaluate the air flow and consequently the ventilation potential with the aids of CFD simulations in the warm months. Results, indicating the impacts of urban form on microclimate showed that by adopting some design-based suggestions, ventilation potential can be increased up to 17.5% even in severe air pollution conditions.
