Engrained experience—a comparison of microclimate perception schemata and microclimate measurements in Dutch urban squares [PDF]
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2009 Acceptance of public spaces is often guided by perceptual schemata. Such schemata also seem to play a role in thermal comfort and microclimate experience. For climate-responsive design with a focus on thermal comfort it is important to acquire knowledge about these schemata.

Impacts of Microclimate Conditions on the Energy Performance of Buildings in Urban Areas [PDF]
Buildings, 2019 Urbanization trends have changed the morphology of cities in the past decades. Complex urban areas with wide variations in built density, layout typology, and architectural form have resulted in more complicated microclimate conditions.

Microclimate Variation of Urban Heat in a Small Community
Procedia Environmental Sciences, 2016 AbstractUrbanization is known to disrupt the surface energy balance of an urban area. The phenomenon of higher temperatures and thermal discomforts within a local urban setting is broadly known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This research employed roadside temperature measurements to examine microclimate UHI variation in Mongkok, a small urban ...

A method to map land use impacts on microclimate regulation supply in urban environments
MethodsXLand use impacts land surface temperature (LST), especially in urban areas where anthropogenic materials have a high capacity to store energy. Nevertheless, cities have many other land uses (e.g., forests, lawns) that can reduce LST and contribute to ...

Differences in the Influence of Microclimate on Pedestrian Volume According to Land-Use
Land, 2021 Identifying how the urban environment affects pedestrian volume is a traditional urban planning topic. Recently, because of climate change and air pollution, interest in the effects of urban microclimates has been increasing.

The Mitigative Potential of Urban Environments and Their Microclimates [PDF]
Buildings, 2015 Cities play a crucial role in climate change: More than 50% of the growing population lives in cities producing most of the global GDP but also 78% of greenhouse gases (GHG) responsible for climate change. Moreover, due to their highly modified land-use and intensive activities, cities are at the forefront of the most rapid environmental and climatic ...
