  1. Exercise 5:Field Work-Microclimate Studies at HCI Group 6: Fu Hao Wei , Cafre Yap , Clement Kong, Zhou Anlai Keith Tan

  2. Group Hypothesis • Windy areas are cooler.

  3. Here are the results of the fieldwork.

  4. Results

  5. Site A- Top level of carpark • Relatively high temperature • Concrete ground absorbs heat more than some non concrete surfaces • Not much shade at time of recording.

  6. Site B- Garden • Relatively low temperature • Cloudy • Windy • Vegetation • Shaded by buildings

  7. Site C-The Globe • Relatively low temperature • Not under direct sunlight • Windy • Marble flooring- Good conducter of heat

  8. Site D-Terraces • Relatively high temperature • Under direct sunlight, no shade at all. • Concrete ground absorbs heat better. • No cloud cover at time of recording.

  9. Site E- Field • Highest temperature • Under direct sunlight • No shade at all • Not much wind speed • Too little vegetation to make a significant impact

  10. Site F- Running Track • Relatively high temperature • Not much wind speed • Little cloud cover • Vulcanised rubber track absorbs the most heat.

  11. Site G- Fountain • Relatively low temperature • A little shade • The water helps to lower the temperature

  12. Hypothesis • Not really true • Strong wind ≠ Lower temperatures The site with the highest temperature also has the strongest amount of wind.

  13. Conclusion • This shows that what is known as "common sense" may not always be true.

  14. Thank you.
