The number of hot days is increasing in many parts of the world because of the heat island
phenomenon and global climate change. High air temperature greatly affects human …

The potential of urban green coverage to mitigate human heat stress is studied using the
ENVI met model V4. The simulation domain is a residential district in Freiburg, a mid-size …

Observing the rapid urban expansions and numerous infrastructure developments in the
East-Asian context, many cities are suffering the urban heat island (UHI) effect and its …

Infrastructure-based heat reduction strategies can help cities adapt to high temperatures, but
simulations of their cooling potential yield widely varying predictions. We systematically …

Heat island phenomenon rises the temperature of cities, increases the energy demand for
cooling and deteriorates comfort conditions in the urban environment. To counterbalance …

Numerous studies have explored multiple factors that affect the urban thermal environment.
