Microclimate Study at Hwa Chong Institution: Temperature Analysis Across Various Locations

DESCRIPTION

This study aims to collate, compare, and analyze temperature data from diverse sites within Hwa Chong Institution. We tested the hypothesis that concrete areas are generally hotter than non-concrete areas. Data was collected from seven distinct sites, including a multi-storey car park, gardens, and open spaces. Findings indicated that the air temperature is lower at a height of 1.5m compared to 15cm, leading to the rejection of our hypothesis. Factors such as sunlight exposure, vegetation, and shade significantly influenced temperature variations.

  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
