Urban heat island effectUrban environmentMicroclimateAnthropogenic heatHeat emissions from buildings is a significant source of anthropogenic heat influencing the urban microclimate; however, they are usually oversimplified in urban climate and microclimate modeling. This study developed a bottom-up physics-...
An urban heat island (UHI) refers to the phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures compared to their surrounding rural areas. This temperature difference is primarily due to human activities and the dense built environment in citites. Suburban Areas Dense vegetation provides shade and ...
The proposed requirements are the same for employees who work indoors or outdoors and is expected to affect a large variety of workplaces, from farm fields to warehouses to kitchens. “We believe these will be achievable for employers and will protect workers and that they will save a signific...
These disparities are estimated through the differences in land surface temperature from the thermal trend of each district and their persistence has been assessed in seasonal, semi-annual, and annual strategies. The study found that industrial areas, including warehouses, were the significant ...
These trends suggest a potential amplification of the urban heat island effect, likely influenced by rapid urban development. The construction of new residential projects, warehouses, and buildings, alongside proximity to industrial estates and Suvarnabhumi International Airport, may contribute to this ...

The climate changed by settlements leads to excessive thermal modification in the air of the urban canopy layer (urban heat island—UHI), the effect of which is especially pronounced at nighttime [3]. During warmer months, the UHI effect reduces outdoor thermal comfort and increases air-...
the buildings were categorized in eight different groups: (1) schools and kindergartens, (2) apartment buildings, (3) apartment buildings with offices, (4) row houses, (5) detached houses, (6) commercial, office and public buildings, (7) manufacturing and warehouses and (8) other buildings...
Moreover, cool roofs can be a viable and cost-effective strategy for mitigating the city-scale urban heat island effect if it is applied on city-wide scale [87]. This kind of implementations may enhance the probability of precipitation toward the outskirt of the city [88]. Furthermore, ...
It is an urban heat island due to its dense population, and has microclimates with variations in temperature and humidity from its coastal areas to its inland areas. Recent studies identified building energy consumption as the dominant contributor to the AH in LA [30]. The building heat ...
