Local Climatic Zoning and Urban Heat Island in Beirut
Procedia Engineering, 2016 Abstract Local Climate Zones (LCZ) form a systematic classification scheme that is used nowadays for zoning and categorization of the internal structure of urban areas for various applications including urban climatology. This paper applies local climatic zoning mapping for Beirut, a dense city situated along the Mediterranean Sea, and provides ...

lczexplore: an R package to explore Local Climate Zone classifications
Journal of Open Source Software, 2023 Climate change is a growing concern for city planners as Urban Heat Islands have an impact on mortality (Clarke, 1972), health in general (Lowe, 2016) and consumption of energy for building cooling (Malys et al., 2012) among other effects. A first step towards large scale study of urban climate is to define classes based on logical division of the ...

Urban Climate, 2020 Streets are the fundamental elements of urban form in terms of microclimate as well as place making in cities. Microclimate itself is influenced by climate critical parameters of the Local Climate Zone Classification (LCZ) system. Therefore, a key design question is the role, if any, of LCZ classification for climate guidelines at street scale. In this

Local Climate Zones for Urban Temperature Studies
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2012 The effect of urban development on local thermal climate is widely documented in scientific literature. Observations of urban–rural air temperature differences—or urban heat islands (UHIs)—have been reported for cities and regions worldwide, often with local field sites that are extremely diverse in their physical and climatological characteristics ...

A Topological Data Analysis approach for retrieving Local Climate Zones patterns in satellite data
Environmental Challenges, 2021 In the context of geospatial studies, meaningful information may be hidden in the aspects of form and connectivity inscribed in the measurements. Therefore, here is proposed the use of H0 Persistent Homology (PH), a Topological Data Analysis tool to ...

Performance Evaluation of Built Environment in Local Climate Zones
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 The thermal performance of a building is significantly influenced by the climate around it. It is observed that the microclimate of an urban area is notably different from that of the surrounding regions. This difference is mainly due to the variations in anthropogenic heat, built morphology and surface characteristics.
