Blue-green urban oasis: creating strategic cool spots in overheated neighbourhoods

Techne
The paper presents a methodology for adapting to urban overheating by creating strategically located blue-green oases – combining vegetation and water systems to enhance neighbbourhood thermal comfort. Focusing on Milan’s Corvetto district as an example,

Overheating in (BENG-)dwellings [PDF]

, 2018
Oververhitting is een punt van zorg in woningen en andere gebouwen waar mensen verblijven. De veronderstelde veranderingen in het klimaat en daarnaast de lokale gevolgen van het zogenaamde ‘urban heat island’ effect kan het probleem doen toenemen. Is dit

The predicted effect of preservation scenarios on indoor overheating for the renovation of heritage-listed apartment-style lilong houses in Shanghai under climate change

Built Heritage
An increase in ambient air temperature due to climate change can adversely affect indoor thermal conditions, particularly in heritage-listed dwellings, as renovation efforts may be limited by preservation constraints, potentially leading to indoor ...

Urban heat islands' effects on the thermo-energy performance of buildings according to their socio-economic factors

Developments in the Built Environment
Urban areas experience the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which affects the thermal comfort and energy consumption of buildings. These consequences could vary depending on the socio-economic status of the neighbourhoods.

Urban data model for studying neighborhood overheating

In a global warming context, solutions for mitigating urban overheating have been identified, such as high-albedo surfaces, urban morphology that allows for natural ventilation, and vegetation to provide shade and humidity. However, it remains challenging for stakeholders to adopt these solutions and incorporate them into the design of new ...
