Urban land cover types influence the urban microclimates. However, recent work indicates magnitude of cover's microclimate is affected by aridity. Moreover, this variation in cooling and warming potentials can substantially alter exposure areas to extreme heat. Our goal understand both relative influences on local air temperature, as well how these vary during periods To do so we apply predictive machine learning models an extensive in-situ 1 m dataset across eight U.S. cities spanning a wide aridity gradient typical heat conditions. We demonstrate tree canopy buildings linearly scales with regional aridity, while turf impervious surfaces does not. These interactions lead consistently mitigate temperature increases arid cities, humid regions varied, suggesting that mitigation possible, but also aggravate or have no significant effect.

Thermal Comfort and Restorative Benefits of Waterfront Green Spaces for College Students in Hot and Humid Regions

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(20), С. 8924 - 8924

Global climate change presents a serious threat to the sustainable development of human society, highlighting urgent need develop effective adaptation strategies mitigate impact climate-related disasters. Campus waterfront green spaces, integral blue-green infrastructure, have been demonstrated facilitate stress recovery. However, in hot and humid regions, severe outdoor thermal conditions may impair students’ mental physical health cognitive function, leading symptoms such as increased stress, anxiety, depression. This study examined influence environments on recovery by selecting three different spaces this climate: Space A (medium water body, sky view factor (SVF) = 0.228), B (large SVF 0.808), C (small 0.292). The volunteers’ comfort restorative benefits these were evaluated via perceived restorativeness scale (PRS), heart rate (HR), electrodermal activity (EDA). We found variations neutral physiological equivalent temperature (PET) across with values 28.1 °C (A), 28.9 (B), 29.1 (C). lowest skin conductance (RSC) at 0.8811 was observed B, suggesting suboptimal recovery, despite higher scores psychological (fascination) 15.23. level region showed negative correlation overall PRS score, “being away” dimension, (RHR). At lightly warm level, where PET from 31.0 35.7 °C, RSC peaked between 1.45 1.53 all spaces. These insights provide guidance for urban designers planners creating space designs that can improve microclimate promote health, achieving health.

A design workflow for effective solar shading of pedestrian paths

Building and Environment, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 261, С. 111718 - 111718

Shading pedestrian paths is strategically important to ensure accessibility and comfort for pedestrians in cities. Limited applicability practice of previous research about the effectiveness natural artificial shading devices was found. This paper proposes a workflow design effective installations on sidewalks; it relies tool developed prioritising compatibility with other software/processes its application urban design. The methodology tested city Milan; performance 60% linear path shade set as goal. Based solar radiation exposure canyons, time day associated each simulated summer scenario. A library compiled allowing designers test various proposals. applied at first theoretical then real case study sidewalk. Results included catalogue solutions installation guidelines, table estimate recommended number sidewalk location, opportunity iteratively master planning Four applications were proposed response resources availability increasing outcome suitability. would support implementing analysis their practice.
