(Elsevier, 2021)
Article
Open AccessThe data contained in this article refers to the measurements of climatic factors during an entire year in low latitudes regions with warm and humid climates, in Santa Rosa city from Ecuador. Since the geographical location ... -
Resilient cooling strategies: a critical review and qualitative assessment
(2021-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe global effects of climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of extreme events such as heatwaves and power outages, which have consequences for buildings and their cooling systems. Buildings and their ... -
Impact of reflective materials on urban canyon albedo, outdoor and indoor microclimates
(2022-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe urban canyon albedo (UCA) quantifies the ability of street canyons to reflect solar radiation back to the sky. The UCA is controlled by the solar reflectance of road and façades and the street geometry. This study ... -
The use of thermography to highlight the relationship between air and surface temperatures in urban scenes
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2019-11-01)
Article
Open AccessThe correlation between air and surface temperatures is recurrently used as a descriptor of the urban climate within built environments. The aim of this paper is to explore the possibilities of time-lapse thermography to ... -
Physically Based Simulation and Rendering of Urban Thermography
(2020-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyUrban thermography is a non-invasive measurement technique commonly used for building diagnosis and energy efficiency evaluation. The physical interpretation of thermal images is a challenging task because they do not ... -
Benefits of street sun sails to limit building cooling needs in a mediterranean city
(2021-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySun sails are a traditional street-scale shading strategy in Mediterranean cities to improve outdoor comfort. So far, their benefits for indoor comfort remain almost unexplored. To addresses this gap, we carry out thermal ...
