Two of the most important environmental and social problems of today are Urban Heat Islands (UHI) and Urban Noise Islands (UNI). These problems are mostly prevalent in the same region owing to uncontrolled population growth, increase in the number of buildings and vehicles, and design-construction usage errors. Due to the increasing interest in global warming, efforts to reduce the impact of UHI have significantly increased in recent years. On the other hand, studies on mitigating the impact of UNI are relatively limited. The literature review exhibits very few papers that investigate both the UHI and the UNI issues at the same time. This study aims to contribute to the perspective of addressing both issues simultaneously by investigating dual-function building envelope forms that provide solutions to both UHI and UNI problems. Firstly, low and high slope cold roof and cold wall form alternatives will be investigated to alleviate the UHI problem. Within the scope of the research, the effects of building balcony depth, balcony floor height, balcony ceiling slope, balcony parapet form, building exterior wall slopes and roof slopes will be studied. Even though the effects of UHI and UNI on optimization of building envelopes are vital issues, they are simply handled in the last design steps. Thus, the present work reveals the building surface forms with the consideration of the impacts of UHI and UNI on the design process.
