Outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) directly impacts on health and wellbeing of inhabitants while
it increases cooling energy demand of buildings. In this regards, different computational …

With the rapid rate of urbanization, outdoor thermal comfort is a growing health concern in
densely-built areas. Accordingly, in order to achieve a comprehensive solution to urban …

Energy building simulations are little based on their effect on the microclimate, most of
software applications deal with energy consumption for appliances usage electricity for …

Due to rapid and intensified urbanisation in cities, the characteristics of outdoor urban
microclimates have been detrimentally influenced, altering the perception and satisfaction of …

In urban areas the impact of built environment on wellbeing and human health should be
considered due to urban heat island phenomenon. The present research aims at identifying …

With the rise in urban air temperature, heat stress and thermal discomfort are challenging
the livability of urban environments. To respond to this concern, we employ numerical …

Outdoor human comfort is an important factor in the evaluation of the liveability of a city as
well as for promoting people's health and well-being. In hot arid climates in particular, urban …

The present study addresses thermal comfort assessment of outdoor and semi-outdoor
environments. Two stadium case studies are used to demonstrate the potentiality of the …

As interest in comfortable outdoor spaces grows, the demand to simulate, map, and
understand these microclimates has also grown. However, such mapping rarely occurs in …

Taking into account outdoor thermal comfort in the urban design stage can potentially
enhance the livability of a city. This study aims to demonstrate an outdoor thermal comfort …
