Abstract

This paper is concerned with providing thermal comfort for waiting passengers in open or semi-open urban spaces based on research carried out for the Valley Metro Rail Project in Phoenix, focusing on cool architectural materials and assemblies for outdoor urban spaces. The effectiveness of microclimatic modification of architectural shelter, for the purposes of climatic mitigation is an accepted fact. Although design strategies should attempt to lower ambient air temperatures, this approach has limited possibilities. The fundamental opportunities are in controlling the radiant temperatures of the building material surfaces that impact users and hence controlling the Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT). Local field measurements of a number of outdoor shading structures such as the ones over walkways, bus stops and car parking canopies have demonstrated that it is not uncommon on a summer day to have surface Sol-Air temperatures of 150 °F (65 °C). Such a high temperature on such a large radiant plane six to eight feet above a user creates significant thermal discomfort and health stress.
