Thermal Adaptation Outdoors and the Effect of Wind on Thermal Comfort
2011People use outdoor spaces for various reasons. It is important to create the optimum wind environment to achieve adaptive thermal comfort in a hot and humid climate. To clarify thermal adaptation in the outdoor environment, thermal comfort surveys are reviewed and compared.

The effects of trees on outdoor thermal comfort in cities
2020<p>Nature-based solutions appear to be an interesting option for enhancing the thermal comfort of the urban population during summer, while providing multiple services (e.g. biodiversity enhancement, the reduction in buildings energy consumption, stormwater management, acoustic insulation or air purification).

Numerical modeling of outdoor thermal comfort in 3D
Urban Climate, 2018Abstract With the rise in urban air temperature, heat stress and thermal discomfort are challenging the livability of urban environments. To respond to this concern, we employ numerical modeling to evaluate the spatial and temporal variabilities of thermal comfort and introduce a simulation tool: outdoor thermal comfort in 3D (OTC3D).

Theoretical dimension of outdoor thermal comfort research
Sustainable Cities and Society, 2019Abstract Traditional methods to process comfort data are constantly criticised due to their inability to provide an explanation for thermal satisfaction achievement. Theories, however, seem to present a solution to this growing issue. Therefore, this study aims to review how the efforts made in the existing literature can benefit from theoretical ...

Digital Simulation for the Outdoor Thermal Comfort Assessment
2019Creating a successful public outdoor space for the city people is significantly affected by the sensation of thermal comfort, which is influenced by the local microclimate. With the increase in the complexity of the urban environment and the excessive change in the climate, there is a great need to quantitatively assess the thermal comfort in outdoor ...

Prediction of air temperature for thermal comfort of people in outdoor environments
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2007Current thermal comfort indices do not take into account the effects of wind and body movement on the thermal resistance and vapor resistance of clothing. This may cause public health problem, e.g. cold-related mortality. Based on the energy balance equation and heat exchanges between a clothed body and the outdoor environment, a mathematical model was
