Study on Facade Openings Design Method Responding to Urban Ventilation Issue in High Density Cities

Urban ventilation environment is closely related to temperatures in urban area and Urban Heat Islands (UHI). The relationship between urban spatial forms and urban ventilation should be analyzed from different scales. In this study, four typical cases in Shanghai (SH) and Singapore (SG) were selected as samples to conduct the research. As for research methods, software simulation and measurement were both carried out. The discussion of the results of measurement were as follows: the influence of different ventilation corridor forms on wind speed, the influence of different facade openings forms on wind speed, and influence of wind speed on temperature. Finally based on the above analysis and discussion, the specific suggestions about facade openings design methods were proposed, including: the orientations and locations of the openings, the sizes of the openings and the shapes of the openings.
