Heatwaves in urbanized areas, even in temperate regions like the Netherlands, are getting
serious attention. The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute predicts more frequent and …

Radiative cooling textiles hold promise for achieving personal thermal comfort under
increasing global temperature. However, urban areas have heat island effects that largely …

Achieving urban cooling from a sustainable perspective requires strategic planning of
building area (S) and height (H). However, there is a lack of human thermal stress …

Many empirical studies have examined the relationship between urban form and canopy
layer urban heat island (CUHI). However, these studies mostly have used small sample …

This study examines the impact of different types and processes of urban renewal on the
urban heat island (UHI) effect. The research categorizes renewal projects based on changes …

The process of urbanization exacerbates the urban heat island phenomenon. In order to
reasonably identify urban functional zones, and reveal the influence of buildings on land …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect has detrimental impacts on building cooling demand,
public and ecological health, and climate change. Because UHIs are caused by the …

Heat is added to the surroundings as a result of replacing natural landscapes with buildings.
This includes waste heat from air conditioning systems and heat transferred into the …

This study aims to identify urban forms that are prone to heat storage in the Tokyo Prefecture
in Japan. First, local climate zones (LCZ) were identified with 100 m pixel resolution using …

Green infrastructure has been confirmed to be nature-based solution for mitigating urban
warming. However, knowledge about whether urban parks would cool down surroundings in …
