Abstract

As the climate warming up, the effects of the urban heat island have been an insurmountable issue in the urban development. In this paper, taking Tianjin for example, the research combined computer simulation with on-site measurement to evaluate the effects of different greening ratios on outdoor thermal environment. Besides, the accuracy of the simulation model has been verified by calibration. Research results determined that the increase of the greening ratio in the existing environment could improve the outdoor thermal environment in summer. But the limitations of green cooling was also pointed out, namely that the air temperature would infinitely close to a certain value with further increasing greening ratio.
