| Summary: | Infrastructure development in ITB Jatinangor Campus Area was not followed by the
construction of green open spaces. This has caused an imbalance between green areas
and the number of building and pavement land cover areas. In addition, the quality
of the green open space in the campus area is still not well planned so that the
microclimate becomes uncomfortable. The design of a good and comfortable green
open space can be used as a balance between human needs for green space and the
environment. This design aims to optimize the quality of green open space with a
thermal comfort approach as one of supporting teaching and learning activities on
campus to improve the comfort and productivity of its users. The type of design area
is chosen based on the intensity of user activity in the site, namely the type of green
open space between the building and the type of green open space without buildings.
The design method used is a combination method that is a combination of qualitative
and quantitative methods carried out in stages, analyzing thermal comfort, analyzing
vegetation cover relationships (GnPR) and thermal comfort, regression analysis and
qualitative descriptive analysis. Based on the literature study and analysis, it was
found that a way to optimize thermal comfort in green open space is by using
vegetation with characteristics that are able to modify the wind and be able to reduce
solar radiation. Based on the results of the design interventions sumulation with Envi-
Met software it was found that shape of the canopy and height of the tree affects
thermal comfort, temperature and humidity. The farther the distance between trees,
the effect in reducing the temperature and rising the air humidity will be decreasing.
Designing the two types of chosen areas using the interventions design can be
specified as follow. Addition of trees and vegetations in order to modify the way of the
wind and its strength and reducing the solar radiation, hence will provide thermal
comfort will be placed on the area that have high temperatures, little vegetation and
bad quality of vegetation arrangement. The addition of shade tree vegetation (round
and spread canopy shape) by 80-90% with moderate to tight densitiy planting patterns
can reduce the average temperature of about 0,04-0,6ºC in design area. |
