Using localised weather files to assess overheating in naturally ventilated offices within London’s urban heat island

, 2017
Urban environments typically experience increased average air temperatures compared to surrounding rural areas – a phenomenon referred to as the Urban Heat Island (UHI). The impact of the UHI on comfort in naturally ventilated buildings is the main focus

A novel approach to predict real-time urban heat island effect and indoor overheating [PDF]

: Quantifying urban heat island effect often requires the observation of air temperature distribution over the whole city. Satellite or aircraft mounted radiometers, car mounted temperature sensors and GPS loggers or fixed point monitoring have been ...
