Trees positively improve the annual thermal comfort of built environment in tropical areas, where climate change is slight throughout year. However, for areas with high changes all year, current studies have only explored summer cooling performance trees without impact different types on comfort, especially cold seasons. Therefore, to quantify impacts and scientifically guide optimization green space layout hot winter this study selected Changsha City as area analyzed how affected by evergreen deciduous trees, which are two common areas. The analytical results indicated that difference effect outdoor was insignificant summer, monthly mean PET three months slight, being 0.28 °C, 0.14 0.29 respectively. greatly exacerbated compared a decrease nearly 1.0 °C an hourly reduced up 3.57 °C. mainly attributed absorption reflection solar radiation tree canopy, well humidifying leaf. In still “comfortable” “slightly warm” acceptable stage despite warming spring autumn Planting inevitable mitigation choice change, such China, empirical planting patterns selecting appropriate will year-round comfort.
