Abstract
‘Urban Open Space' is an essential component of the urban landscape. “Green spaces” connect built structures to the outdoors through urban open spaces. Controlling the thermal conditions such as air temperature and radiation conditions in outdoor urban areas can help to modify microclimates. This study attempts to establish the importance of landscape by analyzing the various microclimate parameters and their impact on outdoor spaces. The focus of this research is to see how changing the landscape and green cover in an urban residential neighbourhood affects the microclimate in the selected locations. The onsite climatic data were collected using HOBO data loggers at the strategic locations, and the entire thermal comfort performance of the existing scenario was analysed using ENVI-met, and the performance of the existing scenario was then compared with the proposed scenario where the percentage of the green cover was increased. The research will contribute to a better understanding of the role of green cover in increasing thermal comfort in outdoor spaces of residential clusters. This will enable designers to incorporate outdoor thermal comfort as an important design constraint.
