Quantifying the dualistic nature of urban heat Island effect (UHI) on building energy consumption

Manan Singh et al.

Summary: Urban heat island (UHI) has a significant impact on building energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions globally. The nature and extent of these effects, however, depend on the year-round climatic conditions at specific locations. This study conducted building energy simulations for 43 locations in the United States (U.S.) and found that the energy impacts of UHI are strongly correlated with degree days, absolute humidity, and solar radiation. A multiple regression model was developed to predict the energy impacts of UHI based on climatic context, providing insights for prioritizing UHI mitigation policies according to location and climate.

Summary: Urban ventilation planning is crucial for sustainable and green urban development. High-resolution simulations show that construction of ventilation corridors can lead to reduced temperature, increased wind speed and humidity, and decreased air pollution in cities. However, ventilation corridors alone may not completely solve haze pollution issues, and weakening of the winter urban heat island effect may have negative impacts on energy conservation and habitat comfort.

Parametrization of irregularity of urban morphologies for designing better pedestrian wind environment in high-density cities-A wind tunnel study

Yueyang He et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the impact of irregular breezeway morphologies on pedestrian-level wind performance in high-density cities. The findings suggest that urban ventilation relies on the morphologies of all near-ground open spaces, not just roads, in a dense built environment. The study reveals a negative correlation between wind performance and urban irregularity, with fragmentation having the largest impact. Additionally, there is a positive correlation between wind performance and urban permeability, with the newly-developed parameter achieving higher accuracy than the widely-used parameter.

Chaobin Yang et al.

Summary: The study found that the influence of 2D urban morphology on vertical temperature was stronger than that of 3D at heights below 30 meters, but the opposite was true at heights above 30 meters. Increasing building height can reduce LST in residential areas but increase it in industrial zones. Models using both 2D and 3D metrics performed better in explaining LST and 3D thermal environments than those using either alone, especially in residential areas.
