dc.description.abstract | In highly dense tropical cities, a semi-outdoor space (SOS) is frequently used as a social space within tall building forms where people can interact and connect. Thermal comfort in SOSs within tall buildings, however, may vary depending on the type and form attributes that define it. This study classifies 63 SOSs in four tall buildings of Singapore into five types based on literature review: perimeter buffers, sky terraces, horizontal breezeways, breezeway atria and vertical breezeways. Findings suggest that the five SOS types perform differently in terms of thermal comfort (based on PMV*), environmental parameters (air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity), and building form attributes (height-to-depth ratio, open space ratio, and green plot ratio). Of these five, vertical breezeways and horizontal breezeways are the most thermally comfortable for all activities during a typically warm hour. It is postulated that higher thermal comfort levels in these SOS types are linked to form attributes that enhance air velocity. This study examines the pros and cons of each SOS type in terms of thermal comfort in their role as communal spaces in tall buildings situated within a highly dense tropical city. | es_ES |

Similarly, thanks to UNAV, Obra Social ‘la Caixa,’ and Caja Navarra Bank Foundation for funding the corresponding author’s research stay at National University of Singapore (NUS) through their Mobility Program. Special thanks to Mr. Wong Mun Summ, founding director of WOHA Architects for managing the access to studied buildings. We would like to express our gratitude to the managers and executives of the School of the Arts (SOTA) and Far East Hospitality Management of the OASIA Hotel Downtown in Singapore for granting us access to each building. We gratefully acknowledge the Housing & Development Board (HDB) and Tanjong Pagar Town Council for granting us access to the public housing shown in this paper (Kampung Admiralty and Skyville@Dawson). We also thank Megha Jagdish Bilgi and Bhavya Hemant Gandhi, former NUS Master of Science in Integrated Sustainable Design students, for their assistance during the in-situ measurements stage. | es_ES |
