  2. 16. Outdoor Comfort in Cold Climates : Integrating Microclimate Factors in Urban Design

    Author : Saeed Ebrahimabadi; Sigrid Reiter; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Abstract : Designing urban spaces that provide outdoor comfort is an important but challenging goal in subarctic climates. An approach to urban design that is sensitive to subarctic climatic conditions is essential, but this requires effective incorporation of urban climate knowledge into urban design, which presently is impeded by several barriers.

  4. 17. Urban microclimate and surface hydrometeorological processes

    Author : Christer Jansson; Per-Erik Jansson; David Gustafsson; Chen Delian; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CoupModel; ENVI-met; roughness sub-layer; urban heat island; Physical geography; Naturgeografi;

    Abstract : The urban near surface atmosphere is of great concern since it affects the climate to which an increasing amount of people are immediately exposed. This study investigated the microclimate in central Stockholm in terms of the thermal conditions in the 0-2. READ MORE

  5. 18. 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.

  7. 20. 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.
