An increase in urban vegetation is an often proposed mitigation strategy to reduce heat and improve outdoor thermal comfort (OTC). Vegetation can alter microclimate through changes air temperature, mean radiant humidity, wind speed. In this study, we model how street tree ground cover their structural, optical, interception, physiological traits control the diurnal cycle of OTC different densit...

In order to solve the limitations of horizontal thermal environment improvement, this study compared indoor and outdoor a building in summer according presence or absence green curtain, vertical greening method. 2021, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, shortwave longwave radiation were measured at central point inside grass field outside determine human sensation index, PET UTCI. A...

Three different clothing thermal resistance (r cl) schemes are compared using meteorological and human data collected in Martonvásár. Model 1 is the most complex, it energy balance based. 3 simplest, UTCI-clothing model used as submodel UTCI (Universal Thermal Climate Index) scheme. It uses air temperature sole input. 2 more than 3, insulation values of worn. Meteorological refer to town The we...

Understanding of the urban climate of a city is important for future planning and human wellbeing. The well known Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) indices were calculated with RayMan model using meteorological data (2001-2011) in order to study the human thermal bioclimate of Dar es Salaam. Results indicate that afternoons from late Sep...

The study deals with an assessment and interpretation of the bioclimatic conditions in Vranje (southern Serbia). aims at temporal distributions focussing on extreme thermal stress based Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). meteorological data required for calculation UTCI concern hourly (7 14 CET) weather collected period 2000-2017. frequency very strong heat (VSHS), cold (VSCS) (ECS) both m...

Europe has been affected by record-breaking heat waves in recent decades. Using station data and a gridded reanalysis as input, four commonly used wave indices, the magnitude index daily (HWMId), excess factor (EHF), wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) universal thermal climate (UTCI), are computed. The extremeness of historical European between 1979 2019 using indices different metrics is ranked...

The high-density development of urban centers has worsened outdoor thermal comfort in many cities. In this study, ENVI-met was used to simulate comfort, and the universal climate index (UTCI) eight morphological indicators were calculated at 348 sampling points center. correlation results are shown as follows: (1) Thermal is significantly positively correlated with impervious surface, green are...
