Çalışmada, kent ortamında mikroklimayı ve kullanıcının termal konfor koşullarını yaz döneminde iyileştirmede önemli fonksiyonu olan gölgeleme elemanları ele alınmakta Selçuk Üniversitesi yerleşkesinde altı farklı alanda seçilmiş doğal yapay gölge elemanlarının dış ortam koşullarına etkilerinin ortaya konması amaçlanmaktadır. Tipik bir gününde, bu mekânlarda etkisinin belirlenmesi için kısa süre...

In order to manage the outdoor thermal environment with regard to human health and the environmental impact of waste heat, quantitative evaluations are indispensable. It is necessary to use a thermal environment evaluation index. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between the psychological thermal responses of the human body and winter outdoor thermal environment variables...

Cities inadvertently create warmer and drier urban climate conditions than their surrounding areas through urbanization that replaces natural surfaces with impervious materials. These changes cause heat-related health problems many studies suggest microclimatic design (MUD) as an approach to address these problems. In MUD-related research, although terrestrial radiation plays important role in ...

Urban heat islands (UHIs) are negatively impacting the quality of urban environment and outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) levels, which have raised concerns regarding their impact on health well-being. Understanding OTC level is crucial, particularly in tropical cities with year-round high temperatures humidity. A study was conducted Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia, to determine a selected area through...
