A Study on Urban-Scale Building, Tree Canopy Footprint Identification and Sky View Factor Analysis with Airborne LiDAR Remote Sensing Data

Remote Sensing, 2023
Urbanization transforms simple two-dimensional natural spaces into complex three-dimensional (3D) artificial spaces through intense land use. Hence, urbanization continuously transforms vertical urban settings and the corresponding sky view area. As such,

The Influence of Sky View Factor on Daytime and Nighttime Urban Land Surface Temperature in Different Spatial-Temporal Scales: A Case Study of Beijing

Remote Sensing, 2021
Urban building morphology has a significant impact on the urban thermal environment (UTE). The sky view factor (SVF) is an important structure index of buildings and combines height and density attributes.

Effects of Sky View Factor on Thermal Environment in Different Local Climate Zoning Building Scenarios—A Case Study of Beijing, China

Buildings, 2023
As an essential structural indicator of buildings, sky view factor (SVF) is one of the most critical factors affecting the urban thermal environment. However, the relationship between SVF and the thermal environment at the neighborhood scale has not been

Sky view factor calculations and its application in urban heat island studies [PDF]

Urban Climate, 2019
The sky view factor (SVF) is essential to describe the urban climatology at scales below 100m. This proxy for net radiation depends on the height of the obstacles in its surroundings.

Optimizing sky view factor and vegetation to mitigate urban heat in hot-humid climates

Discover Cities
Rapid urbanization increases built-up density, replacing natural surfaces with roads and buildings, and reduces vegetation, raising temperatures, and increasing heat waves, and exposure risks.

Impact of Sky View Factor on Seasonal Microclimate and Thermal Comfort Variability Across Urban Campus Streets and Buildings

Buildings
University campuses feature spatially diverse environments where thermal performance varies seasonally and spatially. In this study, we integrate field measurements with ENVI-met simulations to evaluate how sky view factor (SVF) influences microclimate ...

The Effect of Sky View Factor on Air temperature in High-rise Urban Residential Environments

Journal of Daylighting, 2019
Urban geometry is defined by the height, length, width, and distance of buildings, which affect the urban environment and its microclimate, especially a high-rise and high-density urban environment, such as Tehran.
