Evaluation of Microclimatic Comfort Around Campus Buildings at the Pedestrian Level by Means of Field Measurements and Survey of Satisfaction
Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between microclimatic conditions around campus buildings and the perception of bioclimatic comfort. This study consisted of conducting simultaneous questionnaire surveys of satisfaction and microclimatic measurements around campus building in an open around campus buildings area in Konya, Turkey. During this research project; the meteorological data, which is acquired from the temporary education buildings of the university campus located in an area that is at a higher elevation than Konya centre and has a topography that is subject to high wind speeds and intensity, were used for measuring year-long pedestrian-level microclimatic conditions along with comfort conditions at the peripherals of the newly constructed education buildings using CFD FloEFD program and Delta OHM device, while providing a study on the currently existing buildings and conceptual architectural projects suggested by authoring architects in the light of present climatic and topographical conditions. For detailed evaluation, January was selected for the winter and heating period, while July was selected for summer and cooling period. Surveys in peripherals of present buildings were conducted on January 21 and July 21. In addition, an exterior comfort satisfaction survey was conducted on the campus. However, only Delta OHM (microclimatic measurement device) measurement results and the results of the comfort satisfaction survey were evaluated in this study.
