description |
Microclimate is a smaller area within a general climate zone that has its own unique climate. In a particular area, there can be a myriad of smaller climates within the larger climate zone. ENVI-met is a computer program that enables to stimulate the microclimate of an environment. It is also can be used to estimate the effect of changing climate conditions on the thermal comfort within the area. The aim of this study was to measure the microclimate of an area been received within, by generating the microclimate environmental model using ENVI-met software. This simulation module is used to understand and quantify the interactions between the man-made and natural environment, and the outdoor microclimate in new development. The microclimate area that has been selected is at Built Environment Complex, UiTM Puncak Alam, a new campus area located in a hot and humid tropical climate. The physical elements involved were vegetation, multi-storey buildings, roads, paving areas and open/green areas. The simulation model shows that the highest temperature recorded was 33°C, which is at 17.00 hours. The relative humidity is below 58% during this peak time with wind speed 1.3 m/s. This high temperature occurs due to the pre-mature tree, which only can provide a minimum shade and make the area become hot and uncomfortable to users. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. |
