Dense urban areas are facing relevant issues related to their high vulnerability the impacts of climate change and ecosystem health. The study presents a case regeneration project with Nature-based Solutions in city Genoa (Italy) and, more specifically, neighbourhood characterised by health well-being issues. performances three design scenarios for hotspot, including plant species selected syst...

The in-scene atmospheric compensation (ISAC) algorithm of Young et al. (2002) [14] (and as implemented in the ENVI software system [16] as ‘Thermal Atm Correction’) is commonly applied to thermal infrared multiand hyperspectral imagery (MSI and HSI, respectively). ISAC estimates atmospheric transmissivity and upwelling radiance using only the scene data. The ISAC-derived transmissivity and upwe...

Urban heat islands (UHI) are one of the unequivocal effects ongoing process climate change: anthropized areas suffer extreme events that affect human perception comfort. This study investigated road pavements as a passive countermeasure by comparing air temperature (AT) and predicted mean vote (PMV) for different surface materials used to pave historical square in Rome, Italy. The software ENVI...

In the city of Erzurum, located in a cold climate region, it is important for pedestrian walkways and parks to be usable all year round. Haydar Aliyev Street, on city's new development axis, serves as both route park. Meteorological data was collected hourly throughout 2021 using Vantage Pro 2 Plus device installed at height 1.5 m study area. The scenarios were analyzed ENVI-met BIO+ Science So...

Wind erosion is considered as one of the main processes of land degradation in different parts of the world. Among the most effective ways to control wind erosion is to cover land surface with natural vegetation area. In this study, 3 replica soil samples were collected, at a depth of 0-3 cm, from various land uses in Dehloran, Ilam Province, Iran. Physical and chemical characteristics of soil ...

High concentrations of ozone (O3) is a major air problem in urban areas, which creates serious threat to human health. Urban street canyon morphology plays key role pollutant dispersion and photochemical reaction rate. In this study, one-year observation at three height levels was performed investigate the O3 distribution vertically Shenyang. Then, field investigation ENVI-met modelling were co...

Vegetation configuration in residential districts improves human comfort by effectively moderating the thermal environment. Herein, reliability of ENVI-met is verified comparing field measured with simulated data, including air temperature and relative humidity. The cooling effect trees gradually increased increasing tree coverage. Under same coverage, a crown diameter (TCD) 3 m have strongest ...

Colombo, with its rapid development, is experiencing an influx of high-rise developments. These developments create a significant influence on the microclimate area around them, and therefore impact outdoor thermal comfort. With intension mitigating comfort concerns, enhancement vegetation cover often-proposed strategy. This research initiative to ascertain optimum percentage achieve developmen...

Hot and humid areas experience constant high temperatures humidity during summer, causing widespread concern about outdoor thermal discomfort. This paper investigates the effects of landscape design strategies on environments typical summer winter weather conditions in hot–humid China. The physiological equivalent temperature (PET) is used for evaluating performance proposed environments. ENVI-...
