Urban heat island (UHI) and urban pollution island (UPI) effects are two major challenges
that affect the liveability and sustainability of cities under the circumstance of climate change …

The combined effect of tree characteristics on heat stress in different street canyons has
been widely reported. However, there remains a lack of effective methods for improving …

Dynamic airflows, mainly characterized by turbulence and time-varying mean flow and
direction, are increasingly recognized for their positive effects on enhancing the convective …

Rapid urbanization has contributed to urban heat islands, which can potentially lead to
increased energy consumption and carbon emissions, further worsening global warming …

Urban residents are exposed to multiple environmental stimuli. Past studies have examined
the influence of heat stress on outdoor thermal comfort, but the cross-modal effects of …

Provide a high level of thermal comfort in university buildings, conducive to encouraging
different activities and interactions of students. This study aims to evaluate and improve …

A frequently emphasized strategy to reduce the burden of heat in cities across the world is
the implementation of street trees. Here, we examine the effects of deciduous and coniferous …

Trees planted in street canyons affect the dispersion and deposition of air pollutants
primarily through their aerodynamic and deposition effects to change the air quality …

A refined CFD research was reported, concerning on the individual characteristics of
different roadside tree planting and street canyon with non-uniformity of buildings. In this …
