The concept of local climate zone (LCZ) was proposed in 2012 to meet the needs of
refinement and standardization of urban climate research. As an important contribution of …

Urban geometry influences urban microclimate by changing both radiation and ventilation
processes. Full-scale experiments provide significant information on urban microclimate but …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect has significant implications on urban development,
human health, and climate change. Local climate zones (LCZs) provide an objective and …

Atmospheric and surface urban heat islands (UHI) originate from common energetic
processes, but the status of scientific knowledge on their time evolution is highly disparate …

Rapid urban expansion and climate change have prompted further investigations into urban
thermal climates and the development of local climate zone (LCZ) classification systems …

The present study investigates by Analytic Hierarchy Processes (AHP) approach—a
structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions—the effect, at …

Urban climates could significantly impact building energy consumption. This study aimed to
investigate the impact of urban-rural disparities in temperature and humidity on building …

The local climate zone (LCZ) scheme has been widely used in urban heat island studies in
the past decade. However, the general principle of LCZ surface air temperature (SAT) …

Urban morphology has a great impact on urban meteorology, but the scaling effects in the
underlying relationships have seen little research. In this work, the controls of building and …

The local climate zone (LCZ) scheme has been widely applied in urban climate studies.
However, most field observations were conducted in individual cities and focused solely on …
