Group 3 Jian Rong (14) David Powell (5) Tun Yong (32) Brandon Lin (1) Microclimate Study @ HCI
Objective To collate, compare and analyse data about the temperatures at different locations in Hwa Chong Institution.
Hypothesis Concrete areas are generally hotter than non-concrete areas.
Site Ranking Ranked from 1 to 7, with 1 being the hottest average temperature.
Analysis The air temperature is generally lower at a height of 1.5m as compared to 15cm.
Counter Hypothesis Based on the overall readings, our hypothesis has been rejected. The temperature of a certain site mattered less about whether it was made of concrete or not. Rather, the amount of exposure it had to sunlight decided the temperature. Other factors are as follows.
Factors • Presence of shade • Presence of water • Exposure to sunlight • Presence of wind • Presence of vegetation Water Shade Sunlight Wind Vegetation
