The in-scene atmospheric compensation (ISAC) algorithm of Young et al. (2002) [14] (and as implemented in the ENVI software system [16] as ‘Thermal Atm Correction’) is commonly applied to thermal infrared multiand hyperspectral imagery (MSI and HSI, respectively). ISAC estimates atmospheric transmissivity and upwelling radiance using only the scene data. The ISAC-derived transmissivity and upwe...

Achieving future energy objectives and promoting social, economic, environmental sustainability can be inspired by heritage historic structures, which make up a sizeable component of the existing building industry. Heritage architecture urban sites are known for their capability positive interaction with climate to provide better thermal conditions, beside strengthening cultural identity improv...

The residential block is the cognitive unit for residents to constitute urban imagery. As one of most frequently used outdoor public spaces by residents, thermal comfort street canyons an essential indicator assessing sustainable and livable cities. problem uncomfortable summer climate in warm temperate zone China has not been adequately studied. study aims analyze influence building layout for...

Urban heat island produces a significant impact by modifying the microclimate in urban areas. To ensure good quality of life with safe and healthy built environment, floor space index (FSI) can be an effective tool. It helps to control densities shape morphology environment. Taking case typical residential development densely populated Indian city, attempt has been made explore relationship bet...

To provide a reference for the renovation of Shanghai’s existing residential districts, this study quantifies and compares relationships between common strategies, microclimate, heating cooling loads. These strategies include improving greening rate (G), reflectivity pavement (P), wall materials (W), roof or applying green (R). are applied to typical model extracted from areas in Shanghai, Chin...

Hot-humid areas have long, hot summers and poor outdoor thermal comfort (OTC). The urban heat island (UHI) effect exacerbates the deterioration of OTC in hot-humid areas, seriously affecting safety children’s activities. In this study, 60 scenes were simulated using ENVI-met based on different leaf area index (LAI) planting arrangements to explore how tree LAI affect small-scale environment dur...

This study investigated the role of urban geometry and shading in improving pedestrians’ thermal comfort hot climate Ahvaz, Iran. Six canyons are selected Ahvaz. To determine outdoor range, micrometeorological measurements questionnaire survey were conducted July 2018. ENVI-met is used to investigate shadings. evaluate comfort, physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) calculated using RayMa...

The urban heat island phenomenon in large cities is becoming increasingly serious as urbanization continues to develop, seriously affecting the lives of residents. Rivers can effectively alleviate islands and improve thermal comfort riverfront space summer. Thus, effect rivers on microclimate environment studied this work. A section Fu River inland city Chengdu was selected research object, a c...

The design of street canyons has become a focus attention under the requirements high-quality urban modernization, while existing research gradually broken through basic norms aesthetic to include ecological considerations. However, it is only in recent decades that relevant been carried out super and super-large cities China. In this article, we take Nanchang, one largest China, as an example,...
