A Case Study on Urban Ventilation Assessment with Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Parameters
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract The local climate zone (LCZ) partitions are widely used in urban climate investigations. Parameters characterizing LCZ types could be used in investigations about urban heat island (UHI) intensity and air ventilation modelling and assessment.

Characterization of an urban area in the legal Amazon using Local Climate Zones (LCZ)
Revista Nacional de Gerenciamento de Cidades, 2023 The growth of agricultural production and the internalization of the industrial sector has led to a significant increase in the populations of small and medium-sized towns in the Midwest region of Brazil. This movement increases the demand for a built environment and promotes the anthropization of the landscape in these cities, altering the ecosystem ...

Performance Evaluation of Built Environment in Local Climate Zones [PDF]
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.

The 5th International Electronic Conference on Atmospheric Sciences, 2022 LCZs refer to a classification system that exists out of 17 classes, 10 of which can be describedas urban, proposed as the new standard for characterizing and comparing urban landscapes. Thisstudy evaluates the reliability of the LCZ level 0 map obtained from WUDAPT by comparingit with a more detailed LCZ map inferred from the morphological information

Exploring How Street-Level Images Help Enhance Remote-Sensing-Based Local Climate Zone Mapping
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023 The local climate zone (LCZ) classification scheme is effective for climatic studies, and thus, timely and accurate LCZ mapping becomes critical for scientific climate research. Remote sensing images can efficiently capture the information of large-scale
