Abstract

Some variables of the climate that influence the hygrothermal comfort of the urban space, which is influenced by the characteristics of its urban geometry (urban landscape) and its natural environment (natural landscape). This work analyzes the qualities of urban space using the Local Climate Zones (LCZs) in three different areas of Panama City. The study is based on the construction of a model for simulation of the urban microclimate using Envimet v.4.4.5 - Science software, and is carried out in 4 stages: i) data collection, ii) modeling, iii) simulation, iv) Data extraction. The work showed that the classification system of LCZs, of Stewart and Oke (2012) allows a better understanding of the behaviors of different urban microclimates. In addition, it was found that the use of arborization in the built space is vital to mitigate the high temperatures of the surfaces, be they pavements or floors covered with grass. The three cuts did not show much difference between them in temperatures (28.6, 28.18, 28.7 °C) and relative humidity (61.92, 62.94, 62.62 %); but it was evident that the Vista Hermosa neighborhood had a ZCL with UHI characteristics, indicating the highest minimum (28.24°C) and maximum (28.7°C) night temperature of the three cuts analyzed.
