With rapid urbanization, population growth and anthropogenic activities, an increasing
number of major cities across the globe are facing severe urban heat islands (UHI). UHI can …

Urbanization leads to an increase in urban heat islands (UHIs), which is a cause for concern
because they endanger the ecological environment and human health. Scenario …

This article investigates the effect of air conditioning (AC) systems on air temperature and
examines their electricity consumption for a semiarid urban environment. We simulate a 10 …

Heat waves are unusually high temperature events over consecutive days and may cause
adverse impacts such as morbidity and mortality. The interaction between heat waves and …

A numerical study with a weather research and forecasting (WRF) model at 300-m resolution
shows that Singapore's canopy-layer UHI intensity has a strong diurnal cycle, peaking in …

The heatwave event to which the Ontario-Quebec area was subjected in 2018 resulted in
significant morbidity and mortality. In this study, an investigation was conducted on how this …

Abstract The Urban Weather Generator (UWG) is a simple and computationally efficient
model that predicts canopy level urban air temperature using meteorological information …

Urbanization is an increasing phenomenon around the world, causing many adverse effects
in urban areas. Urban heat island is are of the most well-known phenomena. In the present …

Mitigation and adaption measures must be designed strategically by urban planners,
designers, and decision-makers to reduce urban heat island (UHI) related risks. We …

The detailed analysis of the urban microclimate calls for the use of Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) tools able to model complex heat and mass transfer mechanisms. ENVI …
