Mainstreaming the local climate zone framework for climate-resilient cities [PDF]

Nature Communications
The local climate zone framework is valuable for building climate-resilient cities but is limited in application. This limitation can be resolved by addressing three aspects: transdisciplinary dialog, global atlas construction, and cost–benefit ...

Local Climate Zone in Xi’an City: A Novel Classification Approach Employing Spatial Indicators and Supervised Classification

Buildings, 2023
The Local Climate Zone (LCZ), as a foundational element of urban climate zone classification proposed by Oke and Stewart, categorizes urban surface types based on 10 influential parameters affecting the urban heat island effect, such as building density,

Dynamic urban morphology mapping in Chinese cities based on local climate zone approach [PDF]

Scientific Data
Urbanization have been significantly reshaping the form of urban areas and natural landscapes, leading to complex urban morphologies. In 2012, the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification was proposed to address this issue and has since been widely ...

Local Climate Zone Classification Scheme Can Also Indicate Local-Scale Urban Ventilation Performance: An Evidence-Based Study

Atmosphere, 2020
Studies on urban ventilation indicate that urban ventilation performance is highly dependent on urban morphology. Some studies have linked local-scale urban ventilation performance with the local climate zone (LCZ) that is proposed for surface ...

Study on measurement and design strategy of residential room natural ventilation in calm wind climate zone -- a case study of household in chengdu [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2022
It is found via the analysis of the meteorological data in Chengdu that the number of annual average calm wind days is more than 240. In the non-calm wind time, the dominant wind direction is not obvious, while the annual average wind speed is about 1.0 ...
