چکیده

Freiburg is a city with about 200.000 inhabitants located in the southwest of Germany where thermal level is the highest within the country. Therefore, urban climate plays a dominant role in urban planning in Freiburg. Due to its location in the river Rhine's valley, urban climate in Freiburg is influenced by a regional wind system (‘Hoellentaeler“) caused by the near black forest (Gross 1989). It is responsible for fresh air breezing to Freiburg during the night and a decrease in the thermal loads on people living in the city. The objective of this paper is to present results of experimental investigations on the thermal component of different urban microclimates in Freiburg with emphasis on a human-biometeorological assessment.

Comparison of selected thermal indices in the northwest of Iran

The present study compared simple thermal indices and the indices derived from energy budget models in the northwest of Iran. For this purpose, the air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, cloud, cover and wind speed of 13 meteorological stations in the northwest of Iran during the  the period of 1986 to 2007 were selected for comparison. The results which were extracted using Biokl...

Modeling of changes in human thermal bioclimate resulting from changes in urban design - Example based on a popular place in Freiburg, SW-Germany

Introduction Urban street design has a strong influence on human thermal bioclimate. Especially shading and ground coverage show great impact (Lin et al 2010 a, b). Thus, if the design of a popular urban place is changed, human thermal bioclimate on the place may be seriously affected. Facing the impact of global climate change especially heat stress should be reduced (Matzarakis and Endler 201...
