Abstract

With the rapid urbanization and rising affluence, the energy demand and climate change, as well as, health impacts of cities are correlational of increasing importance. Much of this intensive urban growth is wide spreading in parallel with the accelerated climate change detected problems and global warming effects which increasing so broadly as a hot current worldwide stream with facing more of intense and extreme heat waves due to the increase of atmospheric GHG emissions since the industrial revolution. The problem statement is the following: Lack of using climate digital simulation in the conventional urban design process; High dense urban areas are directly influencing the urban heat island effect problems which needs mitigation strategies; Typologies of urban form have a climatic impact on climate orientation inside the districts and also affects the surroundings; Failure of regional climate models to take a consideration of the climatic parameters and human real feeling temperature as on urban microclimate scale and The missing of climate change adaptation strategies in a dynamic design of urban space. The aim of the research will discuss the integrative usage of microclimate digital simulation models to validate the appropriate urban form of an open space in order to be adaptable with climate conditions and to detect the problems of space urban design. Practical urban micro climate scenarios can lead to create a better urban context during different seasons in different climate zones with the consideration of climate parameters through simulating and applying mitigation and adaptation strategies to achieve human thermal comfort in urban outdoor areas and to develop more compatible and healthier urban spaces with enhancing efficient thermal performance using microclimate digital models and find flexible solutions. The research exploration method was initiated as a part of the author's work on a case study related to research project entitled “Sustainable Urban Planning via Establishment of Urban Climate Labs".
