Numerical simulations of the effects of green infrastructure on PM2.5 dispersion in an urban park in Bangkok, Thailand

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
Traffic emission has been identified as one of the dominant sources of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Thailand, and urban green spaces have the capacity to mitigate air pollution.

Analysis of winter thermal comfort conditions: street scenarios using ENVI-met model

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021
Rapid migration to cities and the increasing demand for housing negatively affect living areas. Furthermore, uncontrolled population growth, industrialization, urbanization, narrowing of urban areas, and expansion of cities cause physical boundaries. Urbanization growth and the cold climate restrict pedestrian mobility in the city.

Alternative scenarios for ecological urbanizations using ENVI-met model

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
Natural areas are quickly degraded by opening new settlement and industrial areas in order to meet the increasing demand of the growing population. Concreting, modification of land surfaces, complex urban structures, and depressed urban environments contribute to the formation of an Urban Heat Island (UHI).
