Abstract: In this study, we present the impact of the type of urban canyon on solar radiation into open spaces. The study is based on the solarization periods in three types of urban canyons and comparisons are made between them to infer the impact of the geometry of the canyon in controlling the solarization periods. The most important parameter of canyon geometry is the relationship between L and W and we studied three types of relationships: (L2≥W-L = W-L≤;0.5W), according to the Northeast/Southwest direction. This study is very important for determining the canyon with the shortest solarization period and least amount of solar energy. This study is useful for designing a small solarization period and very useful for desert towns. The methodology follows the comparison method where the comparison of the solarization period is the result for the solar plan for the city of Biskra. The difference in the values of the solarization period between the three types indicates that the urban canyon type (L≥2W) is the least exposed to solar thermal radiation and experiences the lowest temperature. The conclusion is that the higher the L/W proportion is the smaller the solarization period and solar energy. In this framework, we can mention papers related to the subject. This belongs to the researcher’s research team.
