Abstract
This study investigates indoor and outdoor microclimates in a residential area having leafy outdoor space, including tall trees, and also researches the residents' consciousness toward window opening, in order to clarify relationship between the microclimates and the residents' living-style regarding window opening and air conditioning use. The measurement results of the microclimate show that the outdoor microclimate, including shading by the tall trees and the wind environment, largely effects on the indoor climate and the thermal comfort of the space. The residents' consciousnesses toward the living environment obtained from questionnaire and interview indicate that the greenery and the comfortable microclimate in the outdoor space are the important factors that help them to open the window.
