Influence of Urban Geometry on Thermal Environment of Urban Street Canyons in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a typical high-density city in a subtropical climate region, and deep street canyons are among the main features of its urban planning. How the urban geometry influences the urban thermal environment in this city has become a hot topic these

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

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]
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.
