Analyzing the Characteristics of UHI (Urban Heat Island) in Summer Daytime Based on Observations on 50 Sites in 11 LCZ (Local Climate Zone) Types in Xi’an, China [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 Urbanization has induced significant changes on local climate in urban areas. For sustainable urban planning, it is necessary to identify the distribution characteristics of urban heat island (UHI) and the effects of land cover properties.

A Case Study on Urban Ventilation Assessment with Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Parameters
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 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.

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.
