Impact of Microclimate Landscape Design Updates on Thermal Comfort in a Community Park
Due to the aging and lower adaptability of urban traditional community infrastructure, many community parks face abandonment. However, its landscape renewal can positively influence urban sustainability construction and climate resilience. This study aims to reproduce the current and updated cases by comparing planting structures integrated with four landscape conditions in a typical Japanese community park. This study used ENVI-met microclimate simulations combined with the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) thermal index to assess updated cases adapted to local summer climate traits. The results indicated that the presence of a water body and green roof had a lower PMV distribution with a 1.2 °C air temperature reduction in the same landscape planting layout and no vegetation. Moreover, the tree-grass structure has improved summer thermal comfort with an optimal reduction of 1.0 PMV. These results provide optimized design decisions and updates on microclimate conditions to create a comfortable community park.
