Outdoor thermal comfort and behaviour in urban area
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2018 Outdoor comfort is important due to the public spaces functions. Open spaces provide thermal comfort and a pleasant experience to improve the city life quality effectively. The influence of thermal comfort in outdoor activities is a complex problem. This paper presents a literature review and discussion of aspects of physical, psychology, and social ...
