Towards comfortable and walkable cities : spatially resolved outdoor thermal comfort analysis linked to travel survey-based human activity schedules
… campus, for spatially and temporally resolved Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT) simulation and consequent outdoor thermal comfort assessment. Secondly, Building Performance Simulation (BPS) occupancy and trip schedules generation through data clustering techniques applied to activity-based travel …

Adaptive thermal comfort computation with Zigbee wireless sensor networks
… interfaced with a humidity sensor, an inbuilt temperature sensor, light sensor and accelerometer. The end-device periodically reports data like temperature, humidity, light and accelerometer readings. From these readings, a thermal comfort index is calculated by an index called Predicted Mean …

Dependence of outdoor thermal comfort on street design in hot and dry climate
… thermal index PET, Physiologically Equiva-lent Temperature. <br>The investigation is carried out by using the three-dimensional numerical model ENVI-met 3.0, which simulates the microclimatic changes within urban environments in a high spatial and temporal resolution. Model calculations are run …

The impact of passive ventilation strategies on thermal comfort in large church buildings in hot-humid climate of Abuja, Nigeria
… relevant to occupants (0.6–1.5m) recorded air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative humidity and air velocity. Results revealed widespread thermal dissatisfaction and a strong preference for increased air movement. Field measurements confirmed operative temperatures often exceeding …

Workflow design for the analysis of transitional space microclimates application to the analysis of strategies for the improvement of the energy performance and comfort of courtyard buildings in the mediterranean climate
… shading devices had the largest influence on air temperature (monitored up to 13ºC of thermal delta). Albedo, in contrast, had less effect on the air temperature (around 0.2ºC of thermal delta) but had an important influence on user comfort (lowering up to 5ºC in Psychological Equivalent …

On the Relationship Between Spatial-Temporal Outdoor Thermal Comfort Simulations and Bike Ridership
… as it requires inputs such as the ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and mean radiant temperature at the point of interest. This thesis investigates how simulating the urban environment at increasing levels of spatial refinement impacts UTCI values along three bike routes in …

Modelling of the daytime and night-time urban thermal environment
… day- and night-time urban site-specific air temperatures (Ta) at street level. The third part presents an analysis of nocturnal cooling in the near-surface atmosphere and discusses its implications for modelling the night-time Ta. The final part presents improvements of the SOLWEIG model that …

Thermal Efficiency of Courtyards for Residential Buildings in Iraq
… minimum and maximum thermally comfortable globe temperatures for Iraqis in winter and summer are, respectively 14 °C and 35 °C. Within this comfort range and during the daily occupation hours, which are from 8:00 to 22:00, the annual CTUI of courtyards, in Baghdad, ranges between 0.16 and 0.38. …
