1. Field Work Microclimate Study Han Xiang Yu, Shawn Lim, Wang Hao Jia, Yang Po

2. Hypothesis: Places with concrete flooring are hotter than those with non-concrete flooring

3. Sites Temperatures 1.5 m above ground (°C) Hottest (1) Coolest (7) Type of Flooring Day 1 (1140 - 1200) Day 2 (1200 - 1230) Average Top Floor Of Multi Stoery Carpark 30.8 29.930.351 Concrete Garden Outside Printing Centre30.6 29.730.152 Grass Open Space Between Canteen And Block C -NIL- 28 7 Concrete Terraces29 28.828.96 Concrete Field30 2929.54 Grass Running Track30.4 29.830.13 Synthetic Rubber Fountain Area Outside General Office 29.1 28.828.955 Concrete Data collected

4. Site A: Top floor of multi-storey carpark

6. Site B: Garden outside printing room

7. Sites Temperatures 1.5 m above ground (°C) Hottest (1) Coolest (7) Day 1 (1140 - 1200) Day 2 (1200 - 1230) Averag e Garden Outside Printing Centre30.6 29.730.152 Site B Reasons for temperature at that area - Vegetation - Some shade from trees - Cloud Cover - Concrete path

8. Site C: Open Area Outside Canteen

9. Sites Temperatures 1.5 m above ground (°C) Hottest (1) Coolest (7) Day 1 (1140 - 1200) Day 2 (1200 - 1230) Average Open Space Between Canteen And Block C -NIL- 28 7 Site C Reasons for temperature at that area - Some shade from buildings - Concrete Surface - Cloud Cover

10. Site D: Terraces

14. Site F: Running track

15. Sites Temperatures 1.5 m above ground (°C) Hottest (1) Coolest (7) Day 1 (1140 - 1200) Day 2 (1200 - 1230) Average Running Track30.4 29.830.13 Site F Reasons for temperature at that area - No Shade - Synthetic rubber track - Cloud cover / Direct sunlight

16. Site G: Fountain Area

17. Sites Temperatures 1.5 m above ground (°C) Hottest (1) Coolest (7) Day 1 (1140 - 1200) Day 2 (1200 - 1230) Average Fountain Area Outside General Office29.1 28.828.955 Site G Reasons for temperature at that area - Next to water body - Concrete flooring - Cloud cover

18. Conclusion (Compare with Hypothesis)

19. Sites Temperatures 1.5 m above ground (°C) Hottest (1) Coolest (7) Type of Flooring Day 1 (1140 - 1200) Day 2 (1200 - 1230) Average Top Floor Of Multi Stoery Carpark 30.8 29.930.351 Concrete Open Space Between Canteen And Block C -NIL- 28 7 Concrete Terraces29 28.828.96 Concrete Fountain Area Outside General Office 29.1 28.828.955 Concrete Average temperature for concrete flooring: 29.05°C

20. Average temperature for non-concrete floorings: 29.9 °C Sites Temperatures 1.5 m above ground (°C) Hottest (1) Coolest (7) Type of Flooring Day 1 (1140 - 1200) Day 2 (1200 - 1230) Average Garden Outside Printing Centre30.6 29.730.152 Grass Field30 2929.54 Grass Running Track30.4 29.830.13 Synthetic Rubber

21. Places with concrete flooring are in fact cooler than those with non-concrete flooring

22. Possible Reasons for Observations: 1.Cloud cover and position of sun at that time 2.Human and experimental error. 3.Different time arrived at site could affect temperature takings. 4.Confined space VS open space 5.Difference in standing position ( In shade of in the sun)

23. Thank You!
