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 & heatbicsscadvective heat fluxair temperatureAustralian climatic conditionsChinacityclimate change mitigation and adaptationcoastal citiescool roofcooling effectdesert climateenergy budget equationglobal warmingheatwavesland use/land coverlatent heat fluxmetamaterialsnonlinear programmingpartial least square regressionpassive radiative coolingperceived thermal comfortphysiological equivalent temperatureprototypesensible heat fluxShanghaismart citiessurface urban heat island effectsustainabilitysustainable citiessustainable developmentsustainable urban developmentthermal comforturban formurban green spacesurban healthurban heat islandurban heat island intensityurban microclimate designurban overheatingurban parkurban resilience Research & information: generalTechnology: general issuesThermodynamics & heatEmmanuel Rohintonedt1102696Emmanuel RohintonothBOOK9910557356003321Urban Heat Island Mitigation Technologies3037449UNINA
