The Interactive Impact of Building Diversity on the Thermal Balance and Micro-Climate Change under the Influence of Rapid Urbanization

Abstract: Numerous cities face the serious problems of rapid urbanization and climate change, especially in recent years. Among all cities, Wuhan is one of the most affected by these changes, accompanied by the transformation of water surfaces into urban lands and the decline of natural ventilation. This study investigated the impact of surface urban heat island enlargement (SUHI) and block morphology changes in heat balance. Accordingly, the interactive impact of building diversity with major building forms (low-rise, … Show more

“…In the last two decades, numerous cities face serious problems of rapid urbanization [1,2], energy consumption [3][4][5][6][7], and climate change [8,9]. It is estimated more than 70% of people will reside in the built environment by 2050.…”

“…In research focused on OTC, many studies have focused on physical factors [9][10][11]. Such studies have been carried out in urban canyons [12], pedestrian areas [13], parks [14], residential communities [15], and across various climates such as hot desert [16], hothumid [17], humid subtropical [18], cold semi-arid [19], cold [14], and severely cold climates [20]. A range of thermal comfort indices have been used by researchers including the outdoor standard effective temperature (OUT_SET*) [17], predicted mean vote (PMV) [21], predicted percentage dissatisfied (PPD) [22], physiological equivalent temperature (PET) [23], universal thermal climate index (UTCI) [24], wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) [25], and the thermal sensation vote (TSV), as indicated within the seven-point scale in ASHRAE [26].…”

“…Estimating the green vegetation fraction in the Perl River Delta region, China is part of a study in managing natural disasters. [7] Micro-climate modelling has been used widely to track the urban processes [8]. WUDAPT is a recent project that visualizes the link between landscape change and climate by acquiring, storing, and disseminating climate data on the physical geographies of cities around the world.…”
