Abstract

Urban microclimates are closely related to the indoor living environment of residents. Factors affecting microclimate are diverse, including building design, urban form, urban heat island effect, and climate change. However, most study ignored the interaction of multiple factors and only considered the role of a single dimension. How 2D and 3D characteristics of building and land use interact to influence microclimate was yet unknown. In this study, the impact of urban form and land use are quantified on microclimate under the joint action of two dimensions. And we combined five typical building groups in Nanjing with six land types to form 30 building group models, simulated the microclimate of building group models by Envi-met, and explored the impact on microclimate by linear regression models. The results showed that the effect of urban form on wind speed, temperature and relative humidity varies significantly across land types. These findings provide theoretical support for urban planners and researchers to improve urban microclimates from land use and urban form perspectives.
