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. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 606 $aThermodynamics & heat$2bicssc 610 $acooling effect 610 $aurban park 610 $athermal comfort 610 $aphysiological equivalent temperature 610 $aperceived thermal comfort 610 $aurban heat island 610 $aair temperature 610 $asustainable cities 610 $asmart cities 610 $aurban health 610 $aglobal warming 610 $aurban green spaces 610 $asustainable urban development 610 $aclimate change mitigation and adaptation 610 $aurban resilience  610 $aheatwaves 610 $aurban overheating 610 $aurban heat island intensity 610 $aenergy budget equation 610 $asensible heat flux 610 $alatent heat flux 610 $aadvective heat flux 610 $aAustralian climatic conditions 610 $acoastal cities 610 $adesert climate 610 $asurface urban heat island effect 610 $aland use/land cover 610 $apartial least square regression 610 $anonlinear programming 610 $aShanghai 610 $aChina 610 $aurban form 610 $aurban microclimate design 610 $acity 610 $asustainability 610 $asustainable development 610 $acool roof 610 $apassive radiative cooling 610 $ametamaterials 610 $aprototype 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 615 7$aThermodynamics & heat 700 $aEmmanuel$b Rohinton$4edt$01102696 702 $aEmmanuel$b Rohinton$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557356003321 996 $aUrban Heat Island Mitigation Technologies$93037449 997 $aUNINA
