Global Climate Models are used for impact assessment of climate change. There is a mismatch between the spatial scales of outputs and regional impacts. This study aims to bridge the global and regional climate models and building-level application.
The resultant data from GCM and WRF outputs will be used to develop meteorological data for fine temporal scale for the assessment of building performance and indoor thermal comfort under extreme weather conditions.

View Details and DownloadBy using the microclimate simulation tool ENVI-met, evaluation of various combinations of heat mitigation strategies in landscape to improve thermal comfort will be conducted.
Then parametric study will be carried out for different heat mitigation strategies in landscape design. The cooling potentials of HMSs in landscape from alleviating thermal stress will be quantified and characterized.
Workshops will be held to exchange ideas about the scientific evidence with stakeholders and identify the key issues of concern and needs.
Representatives from academia and local construction industries will be invited to participate in the discussion.
Older adults aged 65 years or above from the local communities will be invited to participate in this 10-day experience sampling study.
Participants will be prompted by their tablets to fill out a short questionnaire on their current state and interpersonal situations three times a day. A temperature sensor will track the temperature and humidity of participants’ surrounding environment. In addition, a fitness tracker will track participants’ physiological states (e.g. heart rate and step count), which complements the self-reported and temperature data.
