The climate data used for dynamic energy simulation of buildings located in urban regions are usually collected meteorological stations situated rural areas, which do not accurately represent the microclimate (e.g., heat island effect), and this might affect accuracy. This paper aims at quantitatively evaluating effects on a high-rise building’s performance based tool ENVI-met building COMFIE. ...

Greening can usually have a cooling effect on urban space; but is this law also applicable to coastal sloping space? The space of Qingdao Haizhifeng Square, with topography, was the area we selected study. study contained two parts: green and residential area. ENVI-met used create six scenarios. Different lawns, black pine ash were planted in areas effect. results showed that closer sea, better...

Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) are expanding in anthropized areas, causing serious climatic consequences such as rising temperatures and citizens' discomfort. Several studies have identified confirmed how the use of cool road pavements can mitigate reduce negative effects UHIs. This study performs a microclimate simulation San Pietro Vincula Square Rome through ENVI-Met software by replacing current...

Abstract A tropical Chennai city, is already enduring heat stresses in its urban areas and extremely vulnerable to temperature rise. Furthermore, continues expand, thus the need conduct research make informed decisions on sensible strategies regulations how construct with what attains much significance recent times. One of major contributors materials used surfaces form. The current paper asses...

Urban analysis at different spatial scales (micro- and mesoscale) of local climate conditions is required to test typical artificial urban boundaries related hazards such as high temperatures in built environments. The multitude finishing materials sheltering objects within environments produce distinct patterns conditions, particularly during the daytime. combination intense solar radiation st...

Climate change and the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 highlight need to create habitable outdoor urban spaces. Mitigation techniques that improve environmental conditions are essential in cities with high temperatures. For this reason, an innovative solar control technique based on a green structure was designed where trees centrepiece. The is installed square city centre of Seville (Spain)...

O impacto do ambiente construído ocasiona mudanças no microclima e pode contribuir para a formação das ilhas de calor urbanas (ICU). uso estratégias bioclimáticas mitigação dos efeitos causados pelas ICU é essencial planejamento urbano. Nesse contexto, as áreas verdes contribuem melhoria clima da qualidade vida. presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar importância vegetação o conforto térmico...

Accurate simulation of radiative transfer is a very important aspect in climate modeling. For microclimate models particular, it not only to simulate primary but also secondary fluxes great detail, i.e., emitted longwave and reflected shortwave radiation. As there are always limitations regarding computational effort memory, these commonly implemented using simplified approaches. To overcome si...

The European goals to reduce CO2 emissions by up 40% 2030 and reach carbon neutrality 2050 cannot ignore the building sector, that accounts for 27% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In context sustainable development goals, it is a key point consider reduction heat island effect in urban environment. Considering this background proven absence clear promotion mitigation measures, research aims...

Recent statistical reports highlight an accelerating phenomenon of radical urbanization, and the forecasts estimate that within next ten years, about 70% world’s population will be located in urban areas, compared with 54% currently living there. This result increase constructed volume, foreseeable adverse effects on climate, environment, residents’ health. The resulting growth emissions use en...
