Abstract

Modern thermal comfort theories recommend that a restricted temperature difference be evenly maintained throughout all architectural styles, regions, and people. This strategy treats structure inhabitants for heating purposes, resulting in thermal comfort criteria that necessitate power climate management measures. This frequently results in a high need for air conditioning. Initial investigation and new Technology, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Climate Control) advanced facilities are contesting conventional assumptions of thermal comfort criteria on the basis that they ignore main social and environmental comfort elements. In this paper the researcher took the effect of the modification in the design on the thermal comfort by several engineering solutions for reducing the total main radiant temperature (TMRT(, Potential air temperature (PAT), and the developing of the relative humidity (RH) with the wind speed (WS) Which are playing a significant role on improving the urban heat island (UHI) The research mainly aims to analyze the effect of urban green spaces on the urban heat island as a common strategy for improving the thermal comfort.
