    AB - Purpose Comfortable outdoor workspaces are important for employees in


    business parks and urban areas. Prioritizing a pleasant thermal environment is
    essential for employee productivity, as well as the improvement of outdoor spaces
    between office buildings to enhance social activities and quality of outdoor
    workplaces in a hot arid climate has been subjected to very little studies Thus,
    this study focuses on business parks (BPs) landscape elements. The objective of
    this study is to enhance the user's thermal comfort in the work environment,
    especially in the outdoors attached to the administrative and office buildings such
    as the BPs. Design/methodology/approach This research follows Four-phases
    methodology. Phase 1 is the investigation of the literature review including the
    Concept and consideration of BP urban planning, Achieving outdoor thermal comfort
    (OTC) and shading elements analysis. Phase 2 is the case study initial analysis
    targeting for prioritizing zones for shading involves three main methods: social
    assessment, geometrical assessment and environmental assessment. Phase 3 entails
    selecting shading elements that are suitable for the zones requiring shading
    parametrize the selected shading elements. Phase 4 focuses on the optimization of
    OTC through shading arrangements for the prioritized zones. Findings Shading design
    is a multidimensional process that requires consideration of various factors,
    including social aspects, environmental impact and structural integrity. Shading
    elements in urban areas play a crucial role in mitigating heat stress by
    effectively shielding surfaces from solar radiation. The integration of parametric
    design and computational optimization techniques enhances the shading design
    process by generating a wide range of alternative solutions. Research
    limitations/implications While conducting this research, it is important to
    acknowledge certain limitations that may affect the generalizability and scope of
    the findings. One significant limitation lies in the use of the shade audit method
    as a tool to prioritize zones for shading. Although the shade audit approach offers
    practical benefits for designers compared to using questionnaires, it may have its
    own inherent biases or may not capture the full complexity of human preferences and
    needs. Originality/value Few studies have focused on optimizing the type and
    location of devices that shade outdoor spaces. As a result, there is no consensus
    on the workflow that should regulate the design of outdoor shading installations in
    terms of microclimate and human thermal comfort, therefore testing parametric
    shading scenarios for open spaces between office buildings to increase the benefit
    of the outer environment is very important. The study synthesizes OTC strategies by
    filling the research gap through the implementation of a proper workflow that
    utilizes parametric thermal comfort.
