Abstract

This thesis examines optimizing thermal comfort in the forthcoming Georgia Square Mall development in Athens, Georgia, with a focus on outdoor elements in a mixed-use context. Using advanced ENVI-met modeling, the project evaluates and enhances various environmental factors impacting thermal comfort, including site orientation, landscape design, shading, and natural features like plants and water. Prioritizing user needs, the design process emphasizes adaptability, flexibility, and inclusivity. By integrating microclimate solutions and sustainability principles, the thesis proposes a methodology to enhance thermal comfort. Simulations using ENVI-met will validate the effectiveness of the design interventions. Ultimately, the study contributes practical insights to landscape architecture and urban design, aiming to create inviting and inclusive outdoor environments in similar projects.
