Climatic performance of urban textures: Analysis tools for a Mediterranean urban context
Urban heat island effect is almost always neglected in building energy simulations, due to
difficulties in obtaining site-specific climate data with a district-scale resolution. This study …

Integrated evaluation of indoor particulate exposure: The VIEPI project
Despite the progress made in recent years, reliable modeling of indoor air quality is still far
from being obtained. This requires better chemical characterization of the pollutants and …

On the effect of sea breeze regime on aerosols and gases properties in the urban area of Rome, Italy
Several ground-based remote sensing and in-situ instruments were used to investigate the
development of the sea-breeze front and its effect on both the optical and physical aerosol …

A three-dimensional urban canopy model for mesoscale atmospheric simulations and its comparison with a two-dimensional urban canopy model in an idealized case
Most urban canopy models adopt the two-dimensional (infinitely long) street canyon as the
basic unit to represent the city texture. This paper presents a new urban canopy model, the …
