Park cool island modifications to assess radiative cooling of a tropical urban park [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMany cities experience urban overheating from climate change and the urban heat island phenomenon. Previous studies demonstrate that parks are a potential nature-based solution to mitigate urban overheating through the ‘Park Cool Island’ (PCI) effect ...

Chronic overheating in low carbon urban developments in a temperate climate [PDF]
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2017 Abstract Numerous studies have reported on overheating in urban contexts the majority of which have focused on the influences of external factors, such as: heat waves and climatic change. To date very little research has examined the more insidious issue of chronic year-round overheating in temperate climatic zones.

Minimising Urban Overheating with Courtyard Design [PDF]
, 2023 In this master’s thesis, the relation between courtyard design and summertime overheating of urban environments in the Finnish context is explored. Different design solutions to create thermally comfortable courtyards during summer months were examined through literature review and a data analysis from locally collected temperature and relative ...

Urban overheating governance on the mitigation and adaptation of anthropogenic heat emissions
Our planet Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate as a result of human-induced activities. A global warming rate of 1°C has been observed since the pre-industrial era, and the IPCC reports indicate that this number will reach 1.5°C by 2030 because of the current rate of emissions and anthropogenic heat.
