Abstract
This study selected a typical closed residential area in Harbin to explore the impact of residential layout on microclimate in severe cold regions. The relationship between living patterns and microclimates is studied by comparing the temperature and wind speed of enclosed buildings with different building densities and floor area ratios. Using PHOENICS, simulation method studies the relationship between settlement morphology and microclimate by comparing the temperature and wind speed of enclosed buildings with different building densities and floor area ratios. Results show that the building density and the floor area ratio have a strong correlation with microclimate. The influence of the plot ratio on the microclimate is greater than the building density, and the effect on the temperature is greater than the impact on the wind speed. Building density is negatively correlated with wind speed and positively correlated with temperature. Floor area ratio is negatively correlated with wind speed, while the relationship between floor area ratio and temperature is complexly and strongly influenced by shadows between buildings.
