Energy demand has been increasing worldwide and the building sector represents a large
percentage of global energy consumption. Therefore, promoting energy efficiency in …

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 …

Planting trees is considered to relieve the thermal load. However, trees may" pollute" the air
quality. Tree net effects should receive more attention, but only a few studies have …

There is great potential in the use of urban wind energy to form electricity generation
modules over a distribution network to maximize wind power production in densely …

The design guidelines for assessing the wind environment at the pedestrian level have
become increasingly important in urban planning over the past few decades. The purpose of …

This paper investigates the effects of height-asymmetric street canyon configurations on air
temperature and air quality at the pedestrian level using the ANSYS Fluent® software. The …

Vegetation covers in urban parks are very useful for providing a cool microclimate which
mitigates urban heat islands (UHIs). The objectives of this investigation are to therefore …

The understanding of natural ventilation in super-long tunnels can help to optimize the
design of ventilation systems and reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs. This …

The concern of mitigating thermal stress and pollutant concentration has increased in recent
urban design. Most previous studies have demonstrated the promising potential of …

The phenomenon of natural convection in a square cavity filled with a copper-water
nanofluid is investigated numerically. The studied domain is a square cavity with hot and …
