Book excerpt: Microclimatic landscape design requires knowledge of prevailing climate conditions, understanding of the ways in which objects in the landscape affect climate to create microclimates, and methods for applyng this knowledge, through landscape design. (Brown, R. D. & Gillespie T. J., 1995). The microclimatic components that can be modified through landscape design are solar radiation, wind, precipitation and others. Modifying the microclimatic components through landscape elements is able to create thermal comfort, energy efficiency and others benefits. Southern Integrated Terminal Bandar Tasik Selatan has been selected as site for final year project because it is high energy consuming, high carbon emission and poor linkage. With the intention of integrating peoples and living environment at Southern Integrated Terminal Bandar Tasik Selatan through microclimatic landscape design, microclimate of the site has been taken into consideration to benefit both peoples and environment. Design objectives include provide more green space to achieve energy efficiency and improve microclimate of the site, introducing vertical landscape and proper planting selection to improve air quality, introducing green energy as part of the source of power supply and to promote integration of terminal building and rail systems by unify them using softcape.
