Despite the fact, that against background of global warming Russian Arctic is still a region with severe winters and cool summers; likelihood thermal stress conditions in summer also increasing. At same time, urban can significantly affect human heat perception due to appearance island effect other factors. Using example city Nadym (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug), authors have assessed possibi...

Residential public spaces are closely intertwined with residents’ lives as the outdoor thermal environment significantly influences comfort and safety of activities. However, in modern designs, factors such forms, aesthetics functionalities often take precedence, resulting neglect microclimate settlement’s spaces. In this paper, we established a workflow “parametric simulation-performance simul...

Reasonable building height distribution in urban residential areas is conducive to smoother vertical airflow exchange and promotes sustainable development. This paper studies the influence of layouts on ventilation high-rise Harbin, China, discusses typical layout objectives. The ideal area 220 × m was determined using statistical analysis specification requirements, seven were defined based he...

More than 40 heat indices are being used across the world to quantify outdoor thermal comfort. The selection of an Outdoor Heat Stress Index (OHSI) depends on several parameters, including clothing, age, awareness, local environment, food consumption, human activities, and resources. This study investigates various indicators stress, (i) OHSIs officially stress worldwide, (ii) estimation method...

With the process of urbanization, a large number of residential quarters, which is the main dwelling form in the urban area of Beijing, have been developed in last three decades to accommodate the rising population. In the context of intensification of urban heat island (UHI), the potential degradation of the thermal environment of residential quarters can give rise to a variety of problems aff...

The outdoor wind environment and thermal are important factors affecting human comfort in cold winter conditions. spatial layout of plant communities plays an role improving the microclimate comfort. In order to explore positive effect on winter, this study took Xuzhou Tangfang Middle School with typical characteristics as research object. study, we simulated these models using computational fl...

Climatic events in Mediterranean cities, such as heat waves, directly affect their inhabitants. As a result, outdoor thermal comfort urban spaces is gaining increasing research attention because it associated with the quality of life these cities. Significant improvements have been achieved adaptation buildings; however, similar level resilience to climate not observed spaces. This proposes qua...
