Enormous increases in greenhouse gases such as CO2, CH4, and CFCs have caused environmental disruption and irregular climate change. In light of the “Kyoto Protocol”, which is signed in the 3rd United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1997, Taiwan established an index of greenhouse-gas reduction in 2008. Regarding correlations among human, the environment and the nature, this article probes into the environmental thermal comfort to the human body and the nature. Most of the early studies emphasized indoor comfort despite the living space of human covers much more than that. The urban models consider the effect of thermal comfort, and the climate is considered as important as the interaction between streets and shapes. Climate measurements provide background data for analysis of human body variables. This quantitative study had three objectives: (a) a probe into the characteristics and the styles of the shapes and the streets, (b) a discussion of the correlation between human and the climate, and (c) an estimation of the human body and the environmental thermal comfort. The research also investigates the styles and the fragmentation degree of streets and shapes in the urban model. A final objective was to provide city planners with an integrative reference of outdoor layouts and a thorough understanding regarding different thermal comfort level in various styles of streets and shapes in Taiwan. |
