| Abstract | Global warming effect has been a serious issue for decades. The impact of site element is one of influencefactors in architectural design and energy conservation. This study focused on material heat capacityproperties of wet grass (0.7 Btu/oF), wet-soil (0.6 Btu/oF), concrete (0.23 Btu/oF) and dry-soil (0.19 Btu/oF)surfaces. Outdoor air temperature was influenced by those selected materials. Air temperature data were collected for 24 hours. During daytime, those surfaces received heat from solar radiation in a range of 240 to260 Btu/ft2/h It is found that outside air temperature among wet-grass surface had raised 0.9oC similar towet-soil as 1.8oC while concrete 2.6oC and dry-soil 2.9oC. This illustrates that high heat capacity outdoorsurfaces have less effected to raise air temperature than the others. Shades can reduce air temperature covereddry-soil and concrete ground by 3.7oC and 4.9oC, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that toreduce outdoor air temperature, those materials should have high heat capacity property and shade fromvegetation can shield materials with low heat capacity. It has less effect outdoor air temperature raise whichcause energy conservation in building. |
