Trees and shrubs, as a part of the green infrastructure, are important for well-being urban dwellers. This research aims to study eco-efficiency trees on outdoor thermal comfort, defined by ratio change in physiological equivalent temperature (PET) trees’ cost. Field data were collected compared with station calibrate create base case model. After model was created, researchers created scenario...

As a main place for student activities on campus, outdoor spaces have positive impacts students’ physical and mental health. Namely, heat comfort are of great significance to improve activity quality. Here, four unique were studied explore the varying effects human thermal during hot-summer cold-winter periods. Distinct (fully open, semi-open, semi-enclosed, fully enclosed areas) from southern ...

Global climate change and urban heat island intensification are making many cities dangerously hot during waves uncomfortably much of the time. Research has identified ways that environments can be designed to reduce heat, but information is too technical or not been interpreted communicated so as available landscape architects. This study identifies architecture researchers have applied microc...

The thermo-hygrometric sensation of pedestrians in outdoor environments can be quantified by means bioclimatic indices. In this work, the Mediterranean Outdoor Thermal Comfort Index (MOCI) is applied city Rome (Italy) for purpose investigating effect local environmental conditions (urban, suburban, rural) on pedestrian thermal comfort. Hourly values MOCI are calculated May–September period year...
