Influence of Urban Commercial Street Interface Morphology on Surrounding Wind Environment and Thermal Comfort by Yijie Zhang, Bin Huang

“…The results show that (1) in neighborhood-commercial streets, reducing void ratio and variance of height fluctuations can enhance the average wind speed of the street while reducing average temperature and improving the thermal comfort; (2) in business-office streets, the value of the void ratio is negatively correlated with the wind environment and thermal comfort, while the changes in the variance of height fluctuations and the average aspect ratio are positively correlated; and (3) in comprehensive-commercial streets, the decrease of the void ratio will reduce the average wind speed of its street and increase the average temperature, thus weakening the thermal comfort of pedestrians. …”
