This research evaluates the influence of finishing materials on surrounded air temperature and relative humidity (RH). The mai n aim of this research is to demonstrate design strategies and recommendat ions in order to improve the thermal performance of open spaces in h ot arid regions in general and in Riyadh city in particular. Field exp eriments and observation were conducted in Al - Nahda Road Park, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Readings of air temperature and RH were tak en over different type of finishing materials (shaded and exposed to the solar radiation) to assess the influences of the materials and shading devices on the surrounded environment in each selected location in side the Park. Results analysis shows that shaded grass has significant ef fect on the surrounded air temperature reduction. The results also, emphas ize that concrete and asphalt as finishing materials should be avoided in sitting and/or pedestrian areas. The results also demonstrate the importance of isolating open spaces from heat sources such as traffic vehic les.
