The purpose of this research is to develop a prediction method of outdoor thermal environment based on unsteady coupled simulation of convection, radiation and conduction. The prediction method of outdoor thermal environment has been already Proposed by the authors based on the steady coupled simulation. However the method based on steady state simulation is obviously insufficient for predicting thermal environment since the heat storage effect of solid material cannot be considered. This paper consists of two parts. In the first part, the unsteady radiation and conduction analysis method is introduced and the heat storage effect of solid material is numerically investigated for simple building model using this method. In the latter part, accuracy of the prediction method developed here is examined by comparing its results with the field measurement data.
