Popis: |
Waterfront high-rise buildings are an urban feature found on the coast of many touristic cities in South America. One of the relevant effects is the modification of wind speed and wet balances coming from the Pacific Ocean flow to inland due to urban morphology. Solar radiation also changes owing to Sky View Factor SVF and slope. Understanding urban atmospheric and landscape dynamics would support strategies to offset adverse impacts of the built environment. Further, new bioclimatic conditions affect residents living behind high-rise buildings. The question is whether human comfort become worse or better for liveability in the streets and public spaces. The aim is to estimate outdoor thermal comfort in the urban fabric with two solar orientations: parallel and perpendicular to the predominant wind direction (SW-NE). Physiologically Equivalent Temperature PET quantified thermal stress to answer the question. Meteorological data are analyzed from a weather station situated in Viña del Mar for ten years. A city that holds the most visited Chilean beaches by international tourists. To this end, a complex urban environment applied the RAYMAN model. Results point out recommendations for urban design and planning. |
