Design of Double‐Sided Optical Coatings for Space Cooling Through Vertical Windows

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2025.
Dual‐sided radiative cooling glass (DSRCG) utilizes the optical properties of epsilon‐near‐zero materials and ITO to exhibit directional emission toward the outdoor space, facilitating the heat dissipation of the glass, while exhibiting low emission toward the enclosure.

The impact of urban geometry on the radiant environment in outdoor spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Urban geometry, namely the quantitative relationship of building volumes and open spaces (i.e. built density) and their spatial configuration (i.e. urban layout), is a major modifier of urban microclimate.

Assessing Progress in Urban Climate Adaptation: A Review of Indicators for Heat‐ and Water‐Sensitive Urban Development

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2025.
We identified 27 indicators that were grouped into 5 key areas: (1) surface and urban overheating indicators; (2) building type and structure indicators; (3) green infrastructure indicators; (4) soil‐sealing indicators; and (5) water‐sensitive urban development indicators. We concluded in the review that green infrastructure and soil‐sealing indicators,

The urban climate of Ghent, Belgium : a case study combining a high-accuracy monitoring network with numerical simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
As urban environments have a specific climate that poses extra challenges (e.g. increased heat stress during heat waves), gaining detailed insight into the urban climate is important.

The impact of the sky view factor (SVF) on the indoor thermal environment - Case study of a residential housing estate in Constantine, Algeria

open access: yesRevue des Énergies Renouvelables
This study investigates the effect of the sky view factor (SVF) at street level, on the one hand, and the facade orientation, on the other, on the indoor temperature of single-family houses in a semi-arid climate (Constantine).
