Abstract :
The role of surface temperature is rarely been
studied when it comes to thermal comfort issues. This
paper aims to identify the effect of the surface
temperature of vertical entities of built masses on thermal
comfort parameters. The existing neighbourhood at
NOIDA, Delhi NCR with varying morphological
character and variation in heights and orientations was
selected. The results showed that Surface temperature did
not affect greatly to PET, whereas the effect on Tmrt was
significant for most of the scenarios. The relationships
with the east-facing surfaces could be observed whereas
due to the longer exposure to direct solar radiation, the
relationship with S, SW, SE surfaces is moderate. A
negative effect on thermal comfort was observed as the
height of the vertical surface increased. The study will
help improve the understanding of the morphological
configuration to reduce the surface temperature and
eventually in achieving a better thermal comfort level.
