It discusses building and neighborhood design: layout and design features that maximize energy efficiency and thermal comfort without compromising the ability of other buildings to enjoy similar benefits; the use of interstitial spaces (piazzas, streets, and parks) to improve the microclimate at the neighbourhood-level; design intervention case studies; innovative uses of interstitial spaces to improve the local climate at the neighborhood level; and urban radiative cooling solutions to mitigate the unintended climate consequences of urban growth and suggestions for ways forward.Research & information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscThermodynamics & heatbicssccooling effecturban parkthermal comfortphysiological equivalent temperatureperceived thermal comforturban heat islandair temperaturesustainable citiessmart citiesurban healthglobal warmingurban green spacessustainable urban developmentclimate change mitigation and adaptationurban resilience heatwavesurban overheatingurban heat island intensityenergy budget equationsensible heat fluxlatent heat fluxadvective heat fluxAustralian climatic conditionscoastal citiesdesert climatesurface urban heat island effectland use/land coverpartial least square regressionnonlinear programmingShanghaiChinaurban formurban microclimate designcitysustainabilitysustainable developmentcool roofpassive radiative coolingmetamaterialsprototypeResearch & information: generalTechnology: general issuesThermodynamics & heatEmmanuel Rohintonedt1102696Emmanuel RohintonothBOOK9910557356003321Urban Heat Island Mitigation Technologies3037449UNINA
