Abstract:To explore the influence of permeable pavement reflectivity on outdoor thermal environmental parameters, the field measured experiments are conducted by using the permeable concrete specimens with the porosities of 15%, 20%, and 25%. The reflectivity, surface temperature and the average radiant temperature at a height of 0.2 m of each specimen are collected for regression analysis and correlation statistics. The research results show that the reflectivity of the specimens decreases with the increase of porosity, and there is a certain correlation. The correlation coefficient is -0.903. When the porosity increases and the reflectivity decreases, the corresponding surface temperature of the specimen rises, while the average radiation temperature at 0.2 m decreases. These findings indicate that the porosity of permeable concrete not only directly influences the reflectivity, but also exerts a compound effect on both surface temperature and the near-ground thermal environment. The permeable concrete with higher porosity is selected as the underlying surface, which is able to lower the temperature of the outdoor environment to a certain extent. The research achievements have significant practical significance for improving the environmental quality of urban outdoor activity spaces and promoting the realization of a green and low-carbon travel environment.
