  2. 1. Modelling of the daytime and night-time urban thermal environment

    Author : Shiho Onomura; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; urban thermal environment; microclimate modelling; air temperature; mean radiant temperature; nocturnal cooling rates; synoptic weather types;

    Abstract : The world’s urban population is expected to increase over the coming decades. To maintain and improve the health and well-being of urban citizens, it is important to increase our knowledge and develop methods for evaluating the urban thermal environment to support urban planning.

  4. 2. Microclimate measurements in the built environment

    Author : Peter Norberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Surface moisture plays an important role in thedeterioration of building surfaces. The extent and duration ofsurface moisture is generally impossible to predictfrommeteorological data and consequently direct measurement ofthis quantity is essential,e.g. using the WETCORR method.
