Recognising that modifications to the physical attributes of urban space are able to promote improved thermal outdoor conditions and thus positively influence the use of open spaces, a survey to define optimal thermal comfort ranges for passers-by in pedestrian streets was conducted in Curitiba, Brazil.

The impact of climatic conditions on human beings can be assessed using bioclimatic indices. In this study, the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) was applied to assess the bioclimate in Russia. Seasonal features, region-specific features, and extreme values of the UTCI were considered in the climatic conditions of 2001-2015.

Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI): a Challenge for the Thermal Environment Assessment
2011Bioclimatic indices, primarily devoted to the weather forecasts, in some cases are also used for the indoor thermal environment assessment with a consequent underestimation of both comfort and stress situations. The reason are: a) an empirical formulation; b) the need to collapse in few measurements and calculations the complexity of the physiological ...

Rapid urbanization increases urban air temperature, considerably affecting health, comfort, and the quality of life in urban spaces. The accurate assessment of outdoor thermal comfort is crucial for urban health. In the present study, a high-resolution mesoscale model coupled with a layer Urban Canopy Model (WRF-UCM) is implemented over the city of ...
