This study is partially by the National Post-Doctoral Fund (No. LRB03058) and NFSC (40505025). We wish to express our gratitude to Professor S. Tanabe, Waseda University, Japan, for his kind contribution of programme concerning the calculation of SET* value. We also would like to thank Zhang Xutao, the former graduate student of HIT, for his significant contributions to implementing the Monte Carlo ray tracing method.

N2 - With rapid urbanization, big cities in the south of China are progressively falling short of sustaining outdoor thermal comfort. In this paper, a thermal comfort and energy evaluation model is derived from revisions of previous study, to simulate and predict the interaction of coupled urban building-site climate and then the thermal comfort. The methodology of principal calculations is demonstrated first, then a hypothetical district of office buildings in Shanghai is selected. Dynamic on-site climate parameters, anthropogenic heat and indoor/outdoor SET* values, etc., are simulated and evaluated. The results show the variation of outdoor SET* values influenced by factors including canopy height, building coverage and air-conditioning set-point temperature.
