| Research Abstract |
We simulated a heat stroke risk under the summertime outdoor, using a numerical model. This model is possible to predict an urban meteorology, waste heat from buildings, and heat stress to human body. The urban mesh maps of heat stress were reproduced by the WBGT index for the Tokyo and Osaka urban areas. After that, maps of the heat stroke risk were simulated from utilizing equations as relation between actual heat stroke patients and the WBGT value.
