| Abstract | ||
| The paper introduces a thermal comfort examination executed in a public garden located in new Damietta city. The aim of this study is to find the optimum land cover and vegetation options of the study area by means of numerical simulations. For this evaluation the modelled micro- and bio-climatological conditions of a typical summer day (15th July 2017) were analyzed. The thermal and radiation environments of the playground were quantified by one of the most popular bio-climatological comfort index Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and the Mean Radiant Temperature (Tmrt). The simulations of the Achieved parameters were done by the microclimate model ENVI-met. The results were received proved that the modelled area Submitted a variety of thermal conditions for the visitors due to the different land covers. Furthermore this paper confirms the important effect of the vegetation on the human thermal sensation. | ||
