1 Meteorol. Inst. - MeMi Group Towards a simplified calculation of perceived temperature within the urban canopy layer Jana Fischereit Meteorological Inst., CEN, University of Hamburg, Germany, correspondence: jana.fischereit@uni-hamburg.de ASI 2 Urban Comfort, Hong Kong, 10 Dec 2015

2 Objectives Simple calculation of a perceived temperature include only dominant parameters Aim: How accurate are different input parameters need to be known? Sensitivity analysis with a simple urban canyon model and heat balance model 1

3 Methodology: Modelling environment Munich Energy-Balance Model for Individuals with Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) 2

4 Methodology: Modelling environment Simple urban canyon model Radiation-Module (T mrt ) T, RH, FF from weather station in Hamburg Munich Energy-Balance Model for Individuals with Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) 2

5 Methodology: Simulations dim. Fct: PET (T, RH, FF, T mrt, age, gender, ) T mrt (T, RH, φ, hour, H, W, o, ) Treating 3 parameter groups as independent 1. Meteorological parameters 2. Human parameters 3. Street design parameters 3

6 Methodology: Simulations dim. Fct: PET (T, RH, FF, T mrt, age, gender, ) Extending cuboid-method (Früh et al. 2011) Separately: summer, winter male, female Linear regression T mrt (T, RH, φ, hour, H, W, o, ) Treating 3 parameter groups as independent 1. Meteorological parameters 2. Human parameters 3. Street design parameters 3

7 Results: Maximum impact on PET PET = c 1 + a 1 T + a 2 RH + a 3 FF + a 4 T mrt 4

8 Results: Maximum impact on PET PET = c 1 + a 1 T + a 2 RH + a 3 FF + a 4 T mrt ΔPET = a 1 ΔT and same for other param. 4

9 Results: Maximum impact on PET PET = c 1 + a 1 T + a 2 RH + a 3 FF + a 4 T mrt ΔPET = a 1 ΔT and same for other param. 4

10 Outlook Investigate other parameters: street design + age, clothing, Applying non-linear regression 5

11 Outlook Investigate other parameters: street design + age, clothing, Applying non-linear regression Thank you for your Attention! 5
