     As the average number of floors in the building in the simulation area is 5 and the overall average height of the Cianjin District is 21 m, the divisions were pedestrian height (1.5 m), 1F (3 m), 2F (6 m), 5F (15 m), 8F (24 m) (height of less building obscuration) to explore the difference of the improvement of the microclimate environment at the near-surface pedestrian level and different height levels between the cases (Figure 3 and Figure 4). In addition, due to the limitation of the simulation results of the vertical grid, the actual vertical floor plan heights were 1.5 m (K= 2), 2.7 m (K = 4), 7.5 m (K = 6), 16.5 m (K = 9), and 25.5 m (K = 12), respectively (k represents the grid point of vertical resolution.).
