jaue2019-025: Comparison of Climatic Characteristics between Nagoya Metropolitan Area and Handa Canal Area

Abstract

In this research, we will clarify how the difference between the climatic characteristics of coastal cities and inland 
cities influence of the use of natural energy and the heat environment. We clarified the climate characteristics of the 
Handa canal area in spring and summer, and evaluated the possibility of using natural ventilation and the heat 
environment through comparison with Nagoya. 
As the results, the following knowledge was obtained. 
࣭ When the wind from the south (sea breeze) blows, the daytime air temperature of Handa is lower than 
Nagoya, but when the wind from north blows, it is higher than Nagoya. 
࣭ The possibility of natural ventilation is considered to be low because humidity of the Handa canal area is 
higher than Nagoya. 
࣭ Because the air temperature of the Handa Canal area is lower than Nagoya and the wind speed is larger, the 
days that are included the thermal comfort range in Handa canal area had 10 days more than Nagoya (in the 
sun:4days, in the shade:6days). But 88% of days are included the thermal comfort range in both area, the 
thermal comfort of Nagoya and Handa canal area is evaluated to be almost the same.
