Abstract
We analyzed dominant landscape feature parameter of Urban Green Land (UGL) that impact thermal environment of buildings, and researched the spatial distance that UGL could affect surrounding thermal environment and correlation between landscape coefficients of UGL and cooling range caused by UGL. In the scale of 100m spatial resolution, most UGL patches have a role in cooling effect on their surrounding buildings within 100m range. All UGL patches over 0.5 km2 could exert significant cooling effect on surrounding buildings within 100m, with temperature difference ranging from 0.46 ℃to 0.83 ℃, averaged at 0.72 ℃, while UGL patches below 0.5 km2 with high vegetation cover could play a cooling role, but nonsignificant cooling effect with low vegetation coverage. In addition, UGL patches’ perimeter, area, shape index and vegetation coverage have no significant correlation with cooling range of their surrounding buildings.
