A review of the impact of blue space on the urban microclimate
Science of The Total Environment, 2020 The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon represents a major public health issue and has received great attention due to rapid urbanisation. Blue spaces have long been considered a possible mitigation strategy to ameliorate the UHI. However, our knowledge regarding the interaction of waterbodies with their urban surroundings is still limited.

Effects of Urban Morphology on Microclimate Parameters in an Urban University Campus [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 This study investigated the effects of urban morphology on microclimate parameters in an urban university campus in Malaysia. Outdoor air temperatures (Tout) were recorded at eight different locations inside the campus for seven days. The study used three urban morphological parameters such as green cover ratio, height-to-width (H/W) ratio, and sky ...

The Influence of Urban Morphology on the Urban Microclimate.
Air and Water Components of the Environment Conference, 2019 In this paper, GIS techniques and satellite data are used in order to analyze the impact of the two types of urban design existing in the neighborhoods of Bucharest on the local microclimate. The two types of urban morphology considered are separated in time by a natural event, the earthquake from 1977, a phenomenon that has changed the evolution of ...

Analysis of the Impact of Urban Microclimate on Air Conditioning Load Control
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 Due to the presence of urban heat island effect (UHIE), high humidity and other urban microclimate, temperature of city central area rises. This causes that the actual air-conditioning energy consumption (ACEC) in the urban central area is much higher ...
