For decades, the borders of building studies were restricted up to the exterior walls. With better understanding the side effect of urbanization on human health and with excessive progress in new investigation tools, the area of building studies were enlarged to neighborhood environment where mass and air transport vividly interacts with the buildings. Unlike the indoor studies, one can emphasi...

In recent years, the impact of surface heat islands in urban street canyons has become increasingly apparent. However, research on use trees to mitigate remains limited. To address this gap, study combines experiments and simulations analyze cooling effect temperatures under varying timeframes layouts an east–west canyon. The results reveal that temperature road decreases by 10–15 °C, which is ...

Abstract. A new version of a street-network model, the Model Urban Network Intersecting Canyons and Highways 2.0 (MUNICH v2.0), is presented. The comprehensive aerosol model SSH-aerosol implemented in MUNICH v2.0 to simulate street concentrations multiple pollutants, including secondary aerosols. implementation uses application programming interface (API) technology so that may be easily update...

In the perspective of a sustainable urban planning, it is necessary to investigate cities in a holistic way and to accept surprises in the response of urban environments to a particular set of strategies. For example, the process of inner-city densification may limit air pollution, carbon emissions, and energy use through reduced transportation; on the other hand, the resulting street canyons c...
