Designing the Urban Microclimate

Architecture and the Built Environment, 2015
This doctoral thesis presents research on the integration and transfer of knowledge from the specialized field of urban microclimatology into the generic field of urban design. Both fields are studied in order to identify crosslinks and reveal gaps. The main research question of the research is: How can the design of urban neighbourhoods contribute to ...

A Numerical Study on the Correlation between Sky View Factor and Summer Microclimate of Local Climate Zones

Atmosphere, 2019
In the context of urbanization, research on urban microclimate and thermal comfort has become one of the themes of eco-city design. Sky view factor (SVF), one of the parameters of urban spatial form, combines multiple morphological information, such as ...

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 ...

Microclimate analysis of high-density urban residential open enclosures: A case of Thane, India

Environment Conservation Journal, 2023
Urban heat island produces a significant impact by modifying the microclimate in urban areas. To ensure good quality of life with a safe and healthy built environment, the floor space index (FSI) can be an effective tool.
