Analysis tool for bioclimatic design strategies in hot humid climates [PDF]
Sustainable Cities and Society, 2019 Abstract Housing projects design in cities should be based on an understanding of the urban local climate; selection of fit-to-purpose thermal comfort models and implementation corresponding design guidelines and best practices. In this context, we developed an analysis tool for bioclimatic design recommendations for architects in Madagascar. The aim

Improving habitability in open spaces through bioclimatic shading strategies in Seville (Spain)
Science Talks, 2023 Climate change and the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 highlight the need to create habitable outdoor urban spaces. Mitigation techniques that improve environmental conditions are essential in cities with high temperatures. For this reason, an innovative solar control technique based on a green structure was designed where trees are the centrepiece.
