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.
