Abstract

AbstractThis field study aims to improve the understanding of microclimates with architectural features – known as transitional spaces – which influence both the indoor and outdoor environment. The Early Years Centre in London uses canopy spaces to provide an environmental shelter while minimising the disturbance from unwanted weather. Environmental measurements and simulations were performed with regard to thermal comfort and daylight. The fieldwork identifies the diverse environmental roles of the transitional space for both outdoor and indoor spaces and how the application of such spaces can make environmental conditions in schools better or worse. The issues raised during the fieldwork suggest a need to develop design strategies in order to improve the environmental conditions of transitional outdoor spaces and adjacent indoor classrooms.

英国一所幼儿园过渡空间的环境绩效调查
摘要本实地研究旨在提高对建筑特征(即过渡空间)影响室内外环境的微气候的理解。伦敦的早教中心使用树冠空间提供环境庇护,同时最大限度地减少恶劣天气的干扰。在热舒适和日光方面进行了环境测量和模拟。实地考察确定了室外和室内空间的过渡空间的各种环境作用,以及这些空间的应用如何改善或恶化学校的环境条件。在实地考察期间提出的问题表明,需要制定设计策略,以改善过渡室外空间和邻近室内教室的环境条件。
