Architectural structures and exterior cladding are often carried out without considering the climatic
characteristics of cities. The architectural structure of the city often deviates from the cultural texture, as
do roof and material preferences, thereby consuming more energy. With this study, the thermal comfort
relationship between the building and the plant design in Erzurum, which is located in the cold climate region
in Turkey, was analyzed using ENVI-met. For this purpose, the building of the Faculty of Architecture and
Design at Atatürk University, which is a new building, was used. The measurements for the study were taken
on November 2017. Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) maps were created to show the current status of the building
and five different scenarios.
According to the results of the analysis, the most comfortable result for winter months, with 0.2 °C air
temperature difference, was due to the presence of broad-leaved and coniferous trees. Plants increase thermal
comfort, especially in places in which they cut wind speed in winter months. In order to create a thermally
comfortable area in urban spaces, the number of plants should increase, and the right plant design should be
made.
