Although airports contribute to region’s economic development, they have a negative impact on the environment and on the communities around them. Environmental impacts such as noise, air and water pollution, and natural resources consumption are some of the implications resulting from the operation of airports that have the ability to constrain airports further development. In addition, increas...

the knowledge about climatic comfort plays an important role in the humans life and her activities. in fact many human activates are directly related with climatic comfort in every region. this paper analyzed the climatic comfort in province kurdistan (sanandaj, saghez, bijar, ghorve, zarine, marivan and bane meteorological stations). rates of climatic comfort analyzed in meteorological station...

Modern architectural concept of “vertical forest” boosts the tendency including permeable and green spaces in buildings its surroundings. However, whilst generally make cities more ecofriendly, it is insufficiently known to which extent surrounding environment vegetation may positively or negatively influence pedestrian-level wind comfort quality amidst historical well-settled urban layouts. Th...

This paper studies the linkages between housing and consumption in the United States taking into account regional variation. We estimate national and regional housing factors from a comprehensive set of US price and quantity data available at mixed frequencies and over different time spans. Our housing factors pick up the common components in the data and are less affected by the idiosyncratic ...

The current study investigated the impact of vegetation canopy on outdoor thermal environment in cold winter and spring, a less-explored aspect its climate effects. Firstly, we conducted on-site observations meteorology parameters campus hot summer region. Then ENVI-met microclimate simulation model was utilized to simulate air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed direction, solar radiati...

This paper describes research into occupant use of two cafe/seating areas in an atrium building. In particular it deals with two issues: firstly the distribution of temperatures at different points and different floor levels in the atrium over a year; and secondly the acceptance of thermal discomfort by occupants within those spaces. The study of temperature reveals some interesting variations ...

Natural ventilation of building provides improvement of internal comfort and air quality conditions leading to a significant reduction of cooling energy consumption. Design of natural ventilation systems for many types of building is based on buoyancy forces. However, external wind flow can have significant effects on buoyancydriven natural ventilation. Airflow process across vertical vents ind...
