The effect of facade design on facade surface temperature and outdoor microclimate
, 2021 Extreme heat due to climate change, heatwaves and the urban heat island effect amplify urban heat-health risks. Addressing urban heat is now an adaptive policy priority for global and Australian cities. The microclimates of pedestrians are influenced by the design of buildings which are the basic units of urban climate. For architects to adopt building
