Microclimate Temperature Analysis at Hwa Chong Institution: Concrete vs Non-Concrete Study

This study aims to collate, compare, and analyze temperature data from various locations within Hwa Chong Institution, focusing on how concrete and non-concrete areas affect temperatures. Our hypothesis suggested that concrete areas would be hotter, but findings revealed that exposure to sunlight had a greater impact on temperature than surface materials. We ranked sites based on average temperatures, considering factors like shade, water presence, and vegetation. The results challenge assumptions about concrete's heat retention, emphasizing environmental influences instead.

  21. Analysis

  22. Analysis

  23. Analysis The air temperature is generally lower at a height of 1.5m as compared to 15cm.

  24. Counter Hypothesis Based on the overall readings, our hypothesis has been rejected. The temperature of a certain site mattered less about whether it was made of concrete or not. Rather, the amount of exposure it had to sunlight decided the temperature. Other factors are as follows.

  25. Factors • Presence of shade • Presence of water • Exposure to sunlight • Presence of wind • Presence of vegetation Water Shade Sunlight Wind Vegetation
