Outdoor Thermal Comfort in Urban EnvironmentAssessments and Applications in Urban Planning and Design /[electronic resource] :by Kevin Ka-Lun Lau, Zheng Tan, Tobi Eniolu Morakinyo, Chao Ren. - 1st ed. 2022. - XIV, 142 p. 70 illus., 63 illus. in color.online resource. - SpringerBriefs in Architectural Design and Technology,2199-5818. - SpringerBriefs in Architectural Design and Technology,.

1. Characteristics of Thermal Comfort in Outdoor Environment -- 2. Human Thermal Comfort in Sub-Tropical Urban Environment -- 3. Dynamic Response of Pedestrian Thermal Comfort -- 4. Environmental Perception and Outdoor Thermal Comfort in High-Density Cities -- 5. Effects of Urban Geometry on Mean Radiant Temperature.

This book highlights the importance of outdoor thermal comfort for improving urban living quality in the context of urban planning and urban geometry design. It introduces readers to a range of assessment methods and applications of outdoor thermal comfort and addresses urban geometry and thermal environment at the neighbourhood scale using real-world examples and parametric studies. In addition, the subjective evaluations by urban dwellers and numerical modelling tools introduced in this book provide not only a comprehensive assessment of outdoor thermal comfort but also an integrated approach to using thermal comfort indicators as a standard in high-density cities. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable guide for urban climate researchers, urban planners, and designers, and policymakers pursuing more liveable urban environments.
