Method to quantify the effect of apartment housing design parameters on outdoor thermal comfort in summer

► The quantification of design parameters in summer effecting outdoor thermal environment of apartment housing. ► The prediction and evaluation of all-surface-temperature of 3-dimensions, mean radiant temperature and heat island potential. ► Effective case set using the table of orthogonal arrays of experiment design and statistical analysis using SPSS. ► The creation of the evaluation index of design parameters for outdoor thermal environment designs. ► A foundation of DB was built in the design process for green housing planning.
