Thermal Comfort Consequence of Pavement Material at Pedestrian Level in Melaka Town
The pavement materials used to create urban spaces and footpaths are known to significantly affect the pedestrians’ comfort levels. Consequently, this paper is focused on the influence of the outdoor thermal comfort from multiple materials being used to construct the footpaths of Melaka Heritage Town. The hourly data pertaining to the meteorological elements and outdoor thermal comfort of the pedestrian area of Melaka Heritage Town (air temperature, relative humidity, globe temperature, and wind velocity) used in this work were collected via field experiment. The RayMan Software Package (PET) was used to elucidate the thermal environment of six scenarios, made up of multiple river widths and pavement materials. The results confirmed the bare red clay pavement materials that are close to adequately wide waterbody is the best scenario to maintain a slightly warmer comfort range at the pedestrian levels for creating suitable thermal comfort. Thermal comfort assessments at pedestrian levels can also be used to elucidate the benefits of the creation of microclimates toward improving urban designs.
