Week6 post-session activity: scope and structure for my rating framework and reflection

I am going to introduce materials and emissions parts. in these parts, there will be the introduction of purpose of why establish these parts. Then I will provide criteria in each part and there will be some specific aspects in each part, I will give brief description of each aspect and set points. The structure would be:
Materials
 Purpose

 Criteria, description and points

Reflection of An investigation of three-dimensional characteristics of flow regimes within the urban canyon

This article introduces some basic knowledge about urban canyon. Urban canyon is visible all over the city. If we assume two near building walls to be the two parallel side of a quadrangle, the street inside the buildings and the imaginary boundary of top of the buildings to be the other sides, then the volume of the “quadrangle” is urban canyon.
Because of urban planning, the narrow space between two near building forms the air motion likes canyon’s. Urban canyon has adverse impacts on air quality, building energy consumption for heating, cooling and lighting, associated greenhouse emission and even can cause wind disaster. For example, in Urumchi, a city in China, a bus was blew down when it go though a narrow road due to urban canyon.
So how to alleviate this problem. In my opinion, to broaden the distance of two near buildings, in another word, to broaden street width is one effective way, but considering the urbanization and population growth, this method is not helpful. Additionally, because High building will lead strong wind in upper level to ground, wind power is become strong. Thereby, another way is to build lower building to decrease wind power. Actually, these two methods are not easy for developing countries, so maybe it will take many years to solve this problem.
