Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact of different urban building geometries (six courtyards, two canyons, two slabs) on heat mitigation and aircraft noise attenuation, in order to support an evidence-based retrofit plan for future airport neighborhoods. Using ’Pachyderm + ENVI-met simulations + field measurements’, we found that the slanted-roof, low-rise courtyard exhibited optimal acoustic-thermal performance (SPLmin = 71.1 dB(A), σU T CI < 5 ◦C), while the mid-rise canyon demonstrated limited performance (SPLmin = 93.4 dB(A), σU T CI > 10 ◦C). These findings were observed under averaged boundary conditions of a 140 dB(A) aircraft sound source and a diurnal MRT range of 60 ◦C on a heatwave day in July 2022.

Period	4/09/23 → 6/09/23
Other	Following the successful BS2021 in Bruges, Shanghai will take the relay in hosting the next worldwide Building Simulation Conference! BS2023 will see the return of the conference to China after 16 years. The regional affiliate, IBPSA-China, is honored to present an efficient, interactive, warm and safe reunion to the community. Please subscribe to our mail list to stay informed. BS2023 continues to be a Hybrid event. However, with all travel restrictions to China lifted, we highly recommend you to attend in person, for a better social networking experience and a great chance to explore the mainland China.
