Summary We developed the simulation technology on the effectiveness of the various heat island measures in urban space using supercomputer for large-scale analysis, investigation involving field measurements, wind tunnel tests and other scientific methods. In the future, the practical PC-based simulator for national and local government, NPO, and private sector enterprise is to be developed.
