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...

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...

Hyperspectral data contain a large volume of information. This abundance of data is hard to exploit due to high computational cost involved in processing this data. Dimensionality reduction deals with transforming high dimensional data in to lower dimensional space without losing significance of the High dimensional data. In this paper, a new methodology has been proposed that is based on exist...

This paper designs and develops a tool for detecting HABS from ENVI+IDL+ArcEngine. With a friendly and artistic interface offered by third party control, this tool provides a function of HABs monitoring in East China Sea via Remote Sensing Images inversion. Through rows of buttons on the menu bar, this tool allows calculating spectrum reflectance, browsing field work data, interpolating in situ...

Developing integrated farming systems is critical to reducing the environmental impact of animal production. Traditionally, this has been through integrating animal and feed or plant production. But that has become increasingly difficult as agricultural production has become regionally specialized leading to the spatial separation of animal and feed production. This spatial separation has led t...

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...

The thermal environment in Recreational Open Spaces (ROS) is primarily a result of the surrounding built form which includes buildings, trees, and surface treatment materials. To study impact land choice urban on characteristics open spaces, case assessment was undertaken dense context Mumbai, India. ROS its profile, we selected three spaces adjoining school Mumbai exhibiting different material...

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-...

Abstract This study aimed to examine the thermal environment in schoolyards under Mediterranean conditions, and impact of two interventions on amelioration bioclimatic conditions. The investigation was performed for three schools Athens, Greece, through microclimatic simulations by ENVI-met, a typical day June, evaluated based air surface temperature values. index Physiological Equivalent Tempe...

The growth of cities and increase in their structural density lead to several problems. most important these is the formation urban heat islands decrease bioclimatic comfort levels. This study focuses on effect different planting alternatives comfort. In this context, options with only leafy, coniferous, leafy coniferous at half 4 m, 6 8 m intervals along current state area Gaziantep, Turkey we...
