본 연구는 보도, 차도, 주차장, 공원, 광장 등에서 많이 사용되고 있는 포장 재료인 블록의 증발 등 열적 성능을 평가하였다. 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 일반블록과 LID (Low Impact Development)형 제품인 투수블록과 보수블록을 비교하였으며, 통제된 기후조건 (일사, 강우, 강설, 온도, 습도 등)이 갖춰진 챔버 (chamber) 내에서 실험을 수행하였다. 환경챔버 내의 공기온도와 상대습도가 제어되는 상태에서 강우설비와 로드셀을 활용하여 강우전과 후의 중량변화 및 일사장치와 송풍장치를 이용하여 증발량을 계측하였다. 결과적으로 보수블록이 일반블록에 비해 증발산량은 약 2.6배 많았으며, 표면온도는 $10^{\circ}C$, 공기온도는 $4.6^{\circ}C$ 낮았다. 따라서 블록시험에 강도, 투수성능뿐만이 아닌 열에 대한 부문도 추가하여 분석한다면, 도시의 열 환경개선에도 많은 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Here we evaluated the effect of using water retentive pavement or WRP made from fly ash as material for main street in a real city block. We coupled computational fluid dynamics and pavement transport (CFD-PT) model to examine energy balance in the building canopies and ground surface. Two cases of 24 h unsteady analysis were simulated: case 1 where asphalt was used as the pavement material of all ground surfaces and case 2 where WRP was used as main street material. We aim to (1) predict diurnal variation in air temperature, wind speed, ground surface temperature and water content; and (2) compare ground surface energy fluxes. Using the coupled CFD-PT model it was proven that WRP as pavement material for main street can cause a decrease in ground surface temperature. The most significant decrease occurred at 1200 JST when solar radiation was most intense, surface temperature decreased by $13.8^{\circ}C$. This surface temperature decrease also led to cooling of air temperature at 1.5 m above street surface. During this time, air temperature in case 2 decreased by $0.28^{\circ}C$. As the radiation weakens from 1600 JST to 2000 JST, evaporative cooling had also been minimal. Shadow effect, higher albedo and lower thermal conductivity of WRP also contributed to surface temperature decrease. The cooling of ground surface eventually led to air temperature decrease. The degree of air temperature decrease was proportional to the surface temperature decrease. In terms of energy balance, WRP caused a maximum increase in latent heat flux by up to $255W/m^2$ and a decrease in sensible heat flux by up to $465W/m^2$.
