Field Work Microclimate Study Han Xiang Yu, Shawn Lim, Wang Hao Jia, Yang Po
Hypothesis: Places with concrete flooring are hotter than those with non-concrete flooring
Site A: Top floor of multi-storey carpark
Reasons for temperature at that area - No Shade - Concrete road • - No shadow from surrounding buildings Site A
Site B: Garden outside printing room
Reasons for temperature at that area - Vegetation - Some shade from trees • - Cloud Cover • - Concrete path Site B
Site C: Open Area Outside Canteen
Reasons for temperature at that area - Some shade from buildings - Concrete Surface - Cloud Cover Site C
Site D: Terraces
Reasons for temperature at that area - Little shade - Concretesurface - Direct sunlight Site D
Site E: Field
Reasons for temperature at that area - No Shade - Grassy surface - Direct sunlight Site E
Site F: Running track
Reasons for temperature at that area - No Shade - Synthetic rubber track - Cloud cover / Direct sunlight Site F
Site G: Fountain Area
Reasons for temperature at that area • - Next to water body • - Concrete flooring - Cloud cover Site G
Average temperature for non-concrete floorings: 29.9 °C
Places with concrete flooring are in fact cooler than those with non-concrete flooring
Possible Reasons for Observations: Cloud cover and position of sun at that time Human and experimental error. Different time arrived at site could affect temperature takings. Confined space VS open space Difference in standing position ( In shade of in the sun)
