This book includes 18 papers representing the state of the art of detection, assessment mitigation and adaption to urban overheating. Advanced methods, strategies and technologies are here analyzed including relevant issues as: the role of urban materials and fabrics on urban climate and their potential mitigation, the impact of greenery and vegetation to reduce urban temperatures and improve the thermal comfort, the role the urban geometry in the air temperature rise, the use of satellite and ground data to assess and quantify the urban overheating and develop mitigation solutions, calculation methods and application to predict and assess mitigation scenarios. The outcomes of the book are thus relevant for a wide multidisciplinary audience, including: environmental scientists and engineers, architect and urban planners, policy makers and students. 606 $aMeteorology & climatology$2bicssc 610 $a"cold spots" 610 $a"hot spots" 610 $aageing 610 $aair and surface temperature measurements 610 $aair quality 610 $aair temperature 610 $aalbedo 610 $aBeirut 610 $abuilding energy performance 610 $abuilding retrofit 610 $abuilding scale 610 $abuilt-up area 610 $acalculation 610 $aclimatic perception 610 $acool facades 610 $acool materials 610 $acool pavements 610 $acool roofs 610 $acool surfaces 610 $acooling technologies 610 $acost-optimal analysis 610 $aemissivity 610 $aEMPIR 16NRM02 610 $aempirical line method 610 $aenergy savings 610 $aenergy simulation 610 $aENVI-met 610 $aEuramet 610 $afine-resolution meteorological modeling 610 $agenetic algorithm 610 $aGIS 610 $agreen area 610 $aheat health 610 $aheat stress 610 $aland cover fraction 610 $aland surface temperature 610 $alifecycle analysis 610 $alocal climate zone 610 $aluminance coefficient 610 $amaterial characterization 610 $ameasurement 610 $ameteorological modeling 610 $amicro-climate simulations 610 $amitigation measures 610 $amitigation strategies 610 $amobile temperature observations 610 $aMODIS downscaling 610 $amorphological indicator 610 $amulti-objective optimization 610 $amultifractal analysis 610 $amultiple linear regression 610 $anon-constructible parcels 610 $aoffice buildings 610 $aopen science 610 $aoutdoor thermal comfort 610 $aoverheating 610 $apark cool island 610 $aPhysiologically Equivalent Temperature 610 $aroad lighting 610 $aroad surface 610 $ashading 610 $asky view factor 610 $asolar reflectance 610 $asolar reflectance index 610 $aspectral analysis 610 $aspectral reflectance 610 $astructure functions analysis 610 $asubtropical climate 610 $asummer heat stress 610 $asurface albedo 610 $asurface cool island effect 610 $asustainability 610 $athermal comfort 610 $athermal emittance 610 $aurban areas 610 $aurban climate 610 $aurban climate archipelago 610 $aurban climatology 610 $aurban cooling 610 $aurban development 610 $aurban energy balance 610 $aurban heat island 610 $aurban heat island index 610 $aurban heat mitigation 610 $aurban microclimate 610 $aurban morphology 610 $aurban open space 610 $aurban overheating 610 $aurban remote sensing 610 $aurban vegetation 610 $aurban-climate archipelago 610 $aurbanization 610 $aurbanized WRF 610 $aWeather Research and Forecasting model 610 $aWeather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) 610 $aWRF-Chem 615 7$aMeteorology & climatology 700 $aSantamouris$b Matheos$4auth$01296331 702 $aZinzi$b Michele$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346835803321 996 $aUrban Overheating - Progress on Mitigation Science and Engineering Applications$93024009 997 $aUNINA
