Introducing an Optimal Model and Dimensions of Lightweight Membrane Canopy for Hot and Dry Climate of City of Semnan in Iran [PDF]

Renewable Energy Research and Applications, 2021
In urban open spaces, especially in large cities with warm climates, users are experiencing high thermal loads, which causes thermal discomfort. Thermal comfort in open spaces can be improved; by shading. The problem is shading and protecting open spaces

Optimizing trees distances in urban streets for insolation mitigation [PDF]

Geographica Pannonica, 2019
Mitigation of overheating in streets is an important task for urban planners and architects. Urban surfaces in streets, such as footways and façades, can contribute to increase overheating in cities, whereas the trees can help to decrease insolation.

Overheating in Scotland: lessons from 26 monitored low energy homes [PDF]

, 2015
There is growing awareness in the UK that overheating is a significant problem and one that is likely to intensify with climate change, increasing urbanisation, an ageing population and the move towards ‘low energy’ buildings.

The effect of regional, urban and future climate on indoor overheating – A simplified approach based on measured weather data, statistical evaluation, and urban climate effects for building performance simulations

City and Environment Interactions
As summer heat events cause a further increase of heat load in buildings, the need for indoor overheating assessment by building performance simulations (BPS) for planning is rising. Besides other boundary conditions, the selection of proper weather data

Evaluating the Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of Summer Urban Overheating through Weather Types in the Attica Region, Greece

, 2023
In this study, we investigated the association between weather type (WT) and urban heat island intensity (UHII) in the region of Attica (Greece). The application of the methodology resulted in ten WTs over the Attica region.
