Abstract

The modification effects of street trees on outdoor thermal comfort in summertime according to tree planting types and road direction were analyzed using a computer simulation program, ENVI-met. With trees, the air temperature and wind speed decreased, and the relative humidity increased. In the case of mean radiant temperature (Tmrt) and human thermal sensation, physiological equivalent temperature (PET) and universal thermal climate index (UTCI), there was a decrease during the daytime. The greatest change among the meteorological factors by trees happened in Tmrt, and PET and UTCI showed similar patterns with Tmrt·The most effective tree planting type on thermal comfort modification was low tree height, wide tree crown, high leaf area index, and narrow planting interval (LWDN). Tmrt, PET and UTCI showed a large difference depending on shadow patterns of buildings and trees according to solar altitude and azimuth angles, and building locations. When the building shade areas increased, the thermal modification effect by trees decreased. In particular, results on the east and west sidewalks showed a large deviation over time. When applying the LWDN, the northwest, west and southwest sidewalks showed a significant reduction of 8.6-12.3℃ PET and 4.2-4.5℃ UTCI at 10:00, and the northeast, east and southeast sidewalks showed 8.1-11.8℃ PET and 4.4-5.0℃ UTCI at 16:00. On the other hand, when the least effective type (high tree height, narrow tree crown, low leaf area index, and wide planting interval) was applied, the maximum reduction was up to 1.8℃ PET and 0.9℃ UTCI on the eastern sidewalks, and up to 3.0℃ PET and 0.9℃ UTCI on the western ones. In addition, the difference in modification effects on Tmrt, PET and UTCI between the tree planting types was not significant when the tree effects were reduced by the effects of buildings. These results can be used as basic data to make the most appropriate street tree planting model for thermal comfort improvement in urban areas in summer.

컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 ENVI-met을 활용하여 여름철 도로 방향과 가로수 식재형태에 따른 도시공간의 열환경 개선 효과를 분석하였다. 수목 식재 시 낮 시간 동안의 기온과 풍속은 감소하고 상대습도는 증가하였다. 평균복사온도와 인간 열환경지수 PET(physiological equivalent temperature), UTCI(universal thermal climate index)는 수목 식재 시 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 수목 식재 시 가장 큰 변화를 보인 기상요소는 평균복사온도로, PET와 UTCI 변화량 또한 평균복사온도와 유사한 패턴을 보였다. 가장 큰 저감효과를 보인 수목식재방법은 수고가 낮고, 수관폭이 넓고, 엽면적지수가 높은 수목을 좁은 간격으로 식재하는 시나리오(LWDN)였다. 평균복사온도, PET, UTCI는 태양의 고도 및 방위와 건물의 위치에 따른 그림자 형성 조건에 따라 큰 차이를 보였으며, 건물에 의한 태양복사에너지 차단이 클수록 수목에 의한 영향이 줄어들었다. 특히, 동측과 서측 보도에서는 시간대별 저감량에서 큰 차이를 보였다. 가장 저감효과가 큰 수목식재 시나리오인 LWDN으로 식재하였을 때 서측 방면에 위치한 북서, 서, 남서측 보도는 오전 시간대인 10:00에 수목이 없는 경우에 비해 PET 8.6-12.3℃, UTCI 4.2-4.5℃, 동측 방면에 위치한 북동, 동, 남동측 보도는 오후 시간대인 16:00에 PET 8.1-11.8℃, UTCI 4.4-5.0℃로 큰 저감효과를 보였다. 반면, 가장 저감효과가 적었던 수고가 높고, 수관폭이 좁으며, 엽면적지수가 낮은 수목을 넓은 간격으로 식재하였을 때 최대 저감량은 동측 방면 보도에서 PET 1.8℃, UTCI 0.9℃ 이하, 서측 방면 보도에서 PET 3℃, UTCI 0.9℃ 이하로 적은 저감효과를 보였다. 또한, 건물에 의한 영향으로 인해 수목영향이 적은 시간대에는 수목식재 시나리오 간 평균복사온도, PET, UTCI 저감효과의 차이가 크지 않았다. 이 연구결과는 가로수 식재 시 여름철 도시 열환경 저감을 위한 모델 개발에 기초자료로서 활용가능할 것이다.
