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...

Courtyards are a passive strategy to improve the energy performance of buildings. However, accurate simulation courtyards’ thermodynamic in early design stage is still challenging, even though there has been an emergence new methods assess outdoor simulation. This paper tests novel workflow using Ladybug Tools that uses CFD for temperature and comfort courtyards suitable building design, compar...

Physiological equivalent temperature (PET) is one of most used indices for outdoor human well-being evaluation; its determination particularly helpful adaptation strategies in built-up areas affected by the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. In this work, we presented a methodology to compute spatially and temporally resolved PET values during heatwave at city level, based on combination satel...
