  1. ”On the sensitivity of Building Performance to the Urban Heat Island Effect” By Adil Rasheed, Darren Robinson, Alain Clappier

  2. Overview • Problem statement • Model Description • Case Study • Results • Conclusion • Future Work

  3. Problem Statement Current practice Reality Weather Station Building to be simulated Urban Heat Island : Cities are warmer than its surrouding Should UHI be considered while conducting building simulations ?

  4. Global Model Madrid Measurement data can be fed to a global model But resolution of a Global Model is of the order of a few hundred Km

  5. Mesoscale grid Grid for global models Mesoscale Model (Resolution: few meters to Km)

  6. Mass: Mom:. Energy: Humidity: TKE UHI Modelling • Governing Equations: The effects of building is included in the source terms Di Input to the model: Boundary Conditions, Landuse and Topology data

  7. Mesoscale Grid Urban Grid Urban Parameterization • Highlights: • City is assumed to be a regular array of buildings with uniform spacing. • Impact of horizontal and vertical walls (drag and shear) • Accounts for solar radiation • Accounts for building density, urban forms and different landuse. • Heat conduction through walls, ceilings and ground. Source

  8. Case Study: Madrid’s topology • Location: 40º 23´N and 3º 40´W • Mountain peaks surrounding relatively low lying plains • Province of Madrid: 8028 sq. m • Temperate Mediterranean climate: • Cool winters: Below 273 K. • Warm summer: Above 303 K • Mild nocturnal average temperature during the summer months due to Madrid's high altitude. Height above sea level: Varies from 400m-2000m

  9. Land Distribution: % Rural • Largest city of Spain • Third most populous city in EU • Densely urbanized city center: 100% urban area. • City surrounded by rural area.

  10. SIMULATION SET UP • Domain size: 110km by 110km by 10km (covers the entire troposphere) • Horizontal Resolution: 2km • Vertical Resolution: 10m – 1 km . • Three simulations: Cases 1, 2 and 3. • Case 1: Topology as that of Madrid but 100% rural • Cases 2 and 3 correspond to the actual land use, but with different thermo-physical properties for the building surfaces. • Building Width: 15m, Street Width: 15m. • Internal temperature of the buildings: 298 K. • Urban Parameterization scheme by Martilli • Radiation model by: Schayes and Sasamori • Duration of Simulation: 18:00H 13th July to 18:00 14th July

  11. RESULTS: Temperature & Velocity profiles Case 3 18:00 00:00 06:00 13:00 City core is always hotter (Urban Heat Island) Entrainment of cooler air towards the center

  12. Cooling Load: • C is total building conductance (W.K-1) • DDc are the cooling degree-days • η Boiler Efficiency Base Temperature: 291 K RESULTS: Cooling Load Linear relation between energy demand and cooling load.

  13. RESULTS: Normalized CDD Case 2 Case 3 • Cooling load increases by a factor of 1.7 • Changing the thermophysical properties of the built material • can alter the cooling demand • Contours of urban area doesn’t coincide with the contours of CDD: because of wind

  14. Conclusion • Urban Heat Island should be considered during Building Energy Analysis • Thermophysical and radiometric properties of the built material may play a very important role in designing an energy efficient city. • Development of plume: Can be used for “natural scavenging” of the city

  15. Future Work • Validation of the basic assumptions in Urban Parameterization. • Development of better Urban Canopy Model for better representation of the buildings and canopies. • Inclusion of more sophisticated Building Modules in the Mesoscale Model. • Finally to study the effects of changing various thermophysical and radiometric properties.

  16. Acknowledgement • The financial support received for this work from national research programme 54 of the Swiss National Science Foundation is gratefully acknowledged. • Many thanks also to Alberto Martilli for providing the data required for the simulation.
