متن کاملThe Extent and Implications of the Microclimatic Conditions in the Urban Environment: A Vienna Case Study
Recent challenges in the realm of urban studies concern better understanding of microclimatic conditions. Changes in urban climate affect cities at local and global scales, with consequences for human health, thermal comfort, building energy use, and anthropogenic emissions. The extent of these impacts may vary due to different morphologies and materials of the built environment. The present co...
متن کاملContemporery Urban Development and Sustainable Urban Form

متن کاملAssessment of the microclimatic and human comfort conditions in a complex urban environment: Modelling and measurements
Several complex thermal indices (e.g. Predicted Mean Vote and Physiological Equivalent Temperature) were developed in the last decades to describe and quantify the thermal environment of humans and the energy fluxes between body and environment. Compared to open spaces/landscapes the complex surface structure of urban areas creates an environment with special microclimatic characteristics, whic...
