Forehead temperatures as an indicator of outdoor thermal comfort and the influence of tree shade

A. Speak et al.

Summary: The issue of heat islands in cities caused by climate change and increasing urban populations affects the health and living comfort of urban populations. Forehead thermography is positively correlated with outdoor thermal comfort and can be used as a prediction tool, although predictive power is limited.

Benefits of street sun sails to limit building cooling needs in a mediterranean city

Elena Garcia-Nevado et al.

Summary: The study explores the potential of using Finite Element Methods to simulate the effectiveness of sun sails in improving indoor comfort in Mediterranean cities. It finds that street sun sails can significantly reduce building interior temperatures and cooling demands, providing design guidelines for their installation to maximize effectiveness. The rich visual feedback from FEM simulations can aid decision-making in urban design.

Effects of Different Urban-Vegetation Morphology on the Canopy-level Thermal Comfort and the Cooling Benefits of Shade Trees: Case-study in Philadelphia

Samain Sabrin et al.

Summary: Urban morphology plays a significant role in affecting heating or cooling rates in street canopies. Planting trees in residential and mixed-use sites with higher Sky-view factor (SVF) can improve pedestrian comfort in the long term, while commercial sites with lower SVF and surface temperature receive less cooling benefit from street trees.

The effect of urban shading and canyon geometry on outdoor thermal comfort in hot climates: A case study of Ahvaz, Iran

Nazanin Nasrollahi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of urban geometry and urban shading on pedestrians' thermal comfort in the hot climate of Ahvaz, Iran. The orientation and aspect ratio of urban canyons, as well as the presence of urban shadings, were found to significantly influence outdoor thermal comfort indicators such as mean radiant temperature (MRT) and physiologically equivalent temperature (PET). Urban shadings were shown to have a notable cooling effect on MRT and PET, particularly in east-west canyons and wider canyons.

Nature-based solutions to improve the summer thermal comfort outdoors

Bouthaina Sayad et al.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of natural elements on outdoor thermal comfort in Guelma city, using Envi-Met model to simulate eight scenarios with different vegetation types and water body configurations. The findings suggest that increasing vegetation ratio while considering air flow and adding water surfaces in outdoor spaces can improve thermal comfort level. The combination of increased vegetation ratio and linear water bodies is the best solution to achieve optimal thermal comfort level in outdoor spaces.

The impact of sun sail-shading strategy on the thermal comfort in school courtyards

Dalia Elgheznawy et al.

Summary: The study shows that using 60% or more of sun-sail shading in school courtyards can effectively improve thermal comfort by reducing air temperature, improving PMV values, and reducing average radiant temperature at most receptor points.

Comparative analysis of shade and underlying surfaces on cooling effect

Mohammad A. Rahman et al.

Summary: Urban greenspaces have the potential to lessen the urban heat island effect, with grass surfaces and tree shade playing important roles in reducing heat loads. Grass surfaces are more effective in lowering surface and air temperatures during wet spells compared to dry spells, while tree shade provides additional benefits during summer droughts.

Tree layout methodology for shading pedestrian zones: Thermal comfort study in Bilbao (Northern Iberian Peninsula)

Inigo Azcarate et al.

Summary: The research presents a methodology based on mathematical formulas to determine the most appropriate geometric properties and position of trees to be planted in urban canyons, focusing on shading effectiveness and thermal-comfort evaluation using native tree species for increased livability and sustainability of cities. The case study in Bilbao validates the methodology and offers guidance for architects and city planners to integrate trees for improved thermal comfort in urban design.
