The severity of urban heat islands (UHIs) is increasing due to global and urban climate
change. The damage caused by UHIs is also increasing. To establish a plan to improve the …

The urban context is often simplified or neglected in Building Energy Models (BEMs) due to
the difficulties of taking accurately into account all the heat fluxes emanating from the …

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

Street aspect ratios and urban thermal storage largely determine the thermal environment in
cities. By performing scaled outdoor measurements in summer of 2017 in Guangzhou …

Urban trees ameliorate heat stress for urban dwellers. However, it is difficult to quantitatively
assess the integrated impacts of tree planting and street layouts on visual and thermal …

Wind-driven dynamic force and buoyancy force are two main driving forces in urban
ventilation. As a novelty, this paper performs scaled outdoor measurements to examine the …

As the urban area under study continues to expand, the high computational cost of urban
wind and thermal environments simulation is becoming a major challenge for researchers …

Cities are facing significant challenges due to low outdoor air quality. Hence, a growing
number of studies have been conducted to develop strategies for improving air quality. This …

Context Both urban two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) morphology can
affect air and land surface temperature. While many studies have looked at the impact of …

As one of the major bay areas in the world, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay
Area (GBA) has been experiencing a remarkable urbanization process, accompanied by the …
