Impact of urban morphology on urban microclimate and building energy loads
Energy and Buildings, 2021 Due to insufficient records and limited number of weather stations, prediction models must be used to forecast local climate conditions. Accurate prediction is required in the case of emerging cities because rapid growth in urban development causes ...

Impact of vertical greening on urban microclimate and historic building materials: A meta-analysis
Building and EnvironmentAn urban environment is subject to elevated temperatures and higher pollution levels compared to less densely populated areas. Implementing green infrastructures, such as vertical greening, is one method to mitigate this effect.

The impact of urban geometry on the radiant environment in outdoor spaces [PDF]
, 2015 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.

Mutual Influences of Urban Microclimate and Urban Trees: An Investigation of Phenology and Cooling Capacity [PDF]
Forests, 2019 This paper presents an empirical study on urban tree growth and regulating ecosystem services along an urban heat island (UHI) intensity gradient. The UHI effect on the length of the growing season and the association of cooling and shading with species, age, and size of trees was studied in Salzburg, Austria.
