Devido as atuais dinâmicas e configurações do ambiente urbano, torna-se necessário que a paisagem construída natural atue de forma equilibrada, garantindo qualidade ambiental ao construído. As praças – objeto deste estudo proporcionam benefícios à vida pública urbana, além influenciar na esfera ambiental. Este artigo enfatiza, através simulações microclimáticas computacionais, contribuição da p...

background: the phenomenon of dust is a serious environmental problem in dry and semi dry regions. it has a destructive effect for the residents of such regions. over two-thirds of iran is in areas of dry and semi-dry climate conditions. methods: in this research, dust fall measurements were taken in 41 stations across yazd city using a marble dust collector (mdco) located in different parts of...

Attractive public open spaces can serve as key design elements for enhancing life quality in urban areas and to diminish the negative effects of urbanisation. In order to fulfil this task, open spaces must meet the expectation of potential users and offer the right mix of environmental, economic and social conditions. It is well known that the local microclimate belongs to the main factors driv...

Venice is known for its urban heritage fragility. The city experiencing an increase in yearly average temperatures affecting outdoor–indoor comfort and energy expenditure. Owing to existing literature demonstrating how local microclimate depends on density, form, materials, this investigation studies the influence of changing climate Venetian vernacular open spaces, as Campi. Based comparison c...

Outdoor comfort is gaining attention in the design of our cities to face current context rising temperatures. Although simulation required inform early stage projects considering outdoor space and strategies improve their thermal performance, different tool options must be compared through monitoring determine accuracy modeling. This study analyses benefits installation a shading device courtya...

In hot, arid regions on university campuses, students are more vulnerable to heat stresses than in street canyons terms of function; however, the knowledge impact built environments thermal performance is still lacking. two summer and winter days, shading effect existing urban trees pattern a campus Egypt was examined correlate their Sky View Factor (SVF) with environment, meteorology, Physiolo...
