In recent years, semi-outdoor space has become an important research subject in the field of thermal comfort. Overhead located on ground floor is a common type China’s Lingnan region with hot and humid climate. Its comfort been scarcely studied. This study aims to reveal importance influencing factors overhead public spaces areas, explore corresponding adaptive behaviors people. this research, ...

Tourism is one of the fastest growing economic sectors on an international scale. Based this growth, it became necessary to consider climatic-meteorological conditions as determinants for boosting tourism in some geographical areas. The main objective paper characterize perception bioclimatic comfort tourists who visited city Porto summer seasons 2019 and 2020 (in on-going pandemic). Primary da...

In the contemporary urban planning, outdoor comfort is more and relevant. As a matter of fact, in some Nations microclimate design, so, among others, quantification already compulsory, while many others it recommended. Various methods to quantify can be adopted (e.g., PMV-Predicted Mean Vote, or PET-Physiological Equivalent Temperature), but every formulation wind velocity, otherwise referred a...

Current existing thermal control systems are operated based on thermal comfort models generated by regression formulas averaging the thermal responses over data collected during extensive experiments involving panels of human subjects. These models may not be appropriate for an individual whose physiological characteristics happen to be located outside of the main stream from the experimental s...

Thermal comfort is a very vague and a very individual term, which depends on physiological and psychological variables. Thermal comfort in transient environments, like an automotive cabin, is far from understood and general accepted theories do not yet exist. This paper investigates the concept of using a black-box approach for directly associating thermal comfort to field measurements. Artific...

The improvement of the urban microclimate in densely-built central areas Mediterranean cities should be a key objective integrated and transport planning design accordance with UN Sustainable Development Goals on energy, sustainable cities, climate action. warm regions, already burdened by heat island effect, is expected to worsen further due global crisis. This study investigates performance c...

The modification effects of street trees on outdoor thermal comfort in summertime according to tree planting types and road direction were analyzed using a computer simulation program, ENVI-met. With trees, the air temperature wind speed decreased, relative humidity increased. In case mean radiant (Tmrt) human sensation, physiological equivalent (PET) universal clima...
