Urban measures for hot weather conditions in a temperate climate condition : a review study

摘要

This paper discusses the effects of urban design and meteorological parameters on thermal comfort for\udpedestrians at street level. A comparison of different urban modifications allows an objective assessment of the\udeffectiveness of climate adaptation measures. Because, these results are based on different measurement and\udmodelling methods, they are given in various comfort indicators and studied in a specific urban context, climate and weather condition. This study presents the relative effects of design measures based on identical input parameters and one simulation method using the high resolution three-dimensional model ENVI-met and the\udthermal comfort index physiological equivalent temperature (PET).
