چکیده

This paper describes two sets of data on multiple body parameters of five participants, on microclimatic variables, and on self-reported assessment of thermal responses, all monitored in the same outdoor urban environment. Data were collected during three seasons, summer, autumn and winter 2010-2011, in the city of Athens, Greece. Part of these data, collected during the summer period, is related to the research article entitled "Case study of skin temperature and thermal perception in a hot outdoor environment." (Pantavou et al., 2014) [1].

Comparing the Microclimatic Role of Horizontal and Vertical Vegetation to Improving the Thermal Comfort of Outdoor Spaces between Buildings: A Case study (Faculty of Agriculture, I.K.I University), Qazvin.

Vegetation moderates a microclimate by casting shadows, increasing light reflection, evaporation and perspiration; and correcting wind patterns. The present study aims to investigate the microclimatic role of vegetated surfaces and bodies in improving thermal comfort in outdoor spaces between buildings. The main research question is which of the green system modes, that is, horizontal vegetatio...

The Role of Vegetation in Moderating Outdoor Thermal Sensation: The Case of Sistan Region

The subject of outdoor thermal comfort has been researched since 1970. Due to its differences with indoor thermal comfort, it must be assessed with the proper indices. Also, the outdoor thermal comfort of each geographical region must be assessed independently. This research aims to study the measurement indices of outdoor thermal comfort and subsequently determine the most relevant index to as...

Assessment of the microclimatic and human comfort conditions in a complex urban environment: Modelling and measurements

Several complex thermal indices (e.g. Predicted Mean Vote and Physiological Equivalent Temperature) were developed in the last decades to describe and quantify the thermal environment of humans and the energy fluxes between body and environment. Compared to open spaces/landscapes the complex surface structure of urban areas creates an environment with special microclimatic characteristics, whic...
