3 < Ecotect analysis > The analysis in Ecotect aims to show the solar impact on the square in its previous state with 40 trees, in its current treeless state and in a proposed state with replanted trees in a concentric pattern, to match the existing pavement, and to compare the three results. Although the results might state the obvious, it is important to quantitatively show the difference in order to raise awareness. New Methods in Urban Analysis and Simulation I 62
4 < thermal comfort > Unfortunately, the calculation for the thermal comfort has not worked with Ecotect (do not know why). This is my assumption as a conclusion had the thermal comfort simulation work properly: The comparison in the thermal comfort in the current, the previous and the proposed state of the Liberty Square evidently show the importance of vegetation in public spaces an urban heat islands. Both the previous and the proposed states show lower temperatures in the square. The proposed state both lowers temperature and provides shade to the passer-byers as well as conforms to the current design through the concentric array with a large amount of trees (50). In conclusion, it is possible to have both design and comfortable urban climate in a place that needs its vegetation and shade and also keeps a familiar image to its passerbyers.
