Shading Devices

Increasing heat will be a significant problem for Central European cities in the future. Shading devices are discussed as a method to mitigate heat stress on citizens. To analyze the physical processes, which are characteristic of shading in terms of urban human-biometeorology, experimental investigations on the thermal effects of shading by a building and shading by tree canopies were conducted in Freiburg (Southwest Germany) during typical Central European summer weather. Urban human-biometeorology stands for the variables air temperatureTa, mean radiant temperatureTmrt, and physiologically equivalent temperature PET, that is the human-biometeorological concept to assess the thermal environment which was applied. The measuring setup consists of specific human-biometeorological stations, which enable the direct or indirect determination ofTa,Tmrt, and PET. With respect to both shading devices, theTareduction did not exceed 2°C, while PET as a measure for human heat stress was lowered by two thermal sensation steps according to the ASHRAE scale. AsTmrthas the role of a key variable for outdoor thermal comfort during Central European summer weather, all radiant flux densities relevant to the determination ofTmrtwere directly measured and analyzed in detail. The results show the crucial significance of the horizontal radiant flux densities forTmrtand consequently PET.
