Abstract

The goal of this project is the investigation of the potential impacts that different urban morphological compositions of settlements in consolidated urban areas can cause on local microclimate conditions during hot days as perceived on the pedestrian scale. The evaluation is based on the survey of empirical data, established on computer simulations of the thermal conditions of open urban environments of examples of different districts of São Paulo, using the ENVI-met software, calibrated from empirical measurements of microclimate variables in existing environments of the city. The results of the evaluations allow the verification of microclimate variables found in each location in comparison with the characteristics of each urban occupation of the different models, which makes it possible to understand how the different urban morphologies respond to the same climatic conditions. Therefore, this project verifies some of the main impacts that the distributions, shapes, geometries and interactions of buildings can have on the microclimate of our cities during hot days, taking as an example representative neighborhoods of São Paulo.
