The distinctive paper is devoted to the methodology of pedestrian comfort estimation in the nearby ar­ea of the object under construction. A verification example of the wind flow simulation around and through a po­rous object is considered in order to select correct permeability parameters of the computational model of green spaces. The methodology of pedestrian comfort estimation is tested on the example of a real residential complex in Moscow. The results of the numerical simulation of velocity fields are used to calculate the criteria for pedes­trian comfort specified in MDS 20-1.2006. Numerical results are obtained and compared for two study cases - without and with green spaces (bushes),to assess their impact on pedestrian comfort and the possibility of its ad­justment.
