Applications of Automatic Algorithms for Improvement of Outdoor Thermal Comfort in Cities
Procedia Engineering, 2017 Abstract There is a strong need for user-friendly software among urban planners and climatologists in order to develop climatologically conscious urban designs. In this paper we present possibilities (i.e. software packages) for the improvement of outdoor thermal comfort in built urban environments using Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI ...
