Abstract

Research studies related to urban microclimate are gaining popularity due to recent climate changes and rapid urbanization. Streets are the basic elements of a complex urban-build environment and are usually considered of simple rectangular shape, commonly known as the "urban canyon” (UC). The street orientation and geometry have a significant effect on wind and heat distribution inside an urban street canyon which in return affects the building’s energy performance and its natural and hybrid ventilation efficiencies. It also affects pedestrian comfort, pollutant dispersion, and overall air quality at the street level. For climatologists and designers, the knowledge of flow characteristics in street canyons is an important consideration for Climate-responsive urban design. The current research aims to study the effect of street canyon geometry (Canyon length, width, height, orientation, and SVF) on microclimate in a planned (Islamabad) and semi-planned (Rawalpindi) urban setup. The overall goal is to guide the designer for the early-stage climate responsive urban design.
