“…Based on the micro-scale URD ventilation assessment, we provide new policy recommendations for the URD planning and design for controlling aerosol transmission of COVID-19. Although it is quite different in regions such as tropical/frigid zone or mountain/plain area, certain URD patterns are formed as the complex impacts of climate, landscape, folk culture and historical tradition (e.g., the simple URD pattern in northern China vs. the flexible URD pattern in southern China, the enclosed URD pattern in China vs. the open space URD pattern in Europe and the United States) ( Giridharan et al, 2004 ; Guo et al, 2021 ; Liu et al, 2013 ; Yan, 2017 ). During the COVID-19 era it has been a very important and urgent issue to evaluate the micro-scale ventilation capacity of such representative URDs for coping with the virus spread since URD is the main living site and a city process space for residents.…”

“…According to previous studies, PET and UTCI have relatively complete thermal sensation partitioning [20], and PET has been widely used in many studies on outdoor thermal comfort [21]. PET is defined as the temperature at which the heat balance of the human body is maintained with core and skin temperatures equal to those under the conditions being assessed.…”

Urban residential building layouts have an impact on air temperature and thermal comfort. Research has shown that poorly designed building layouts can lead to thermal discomfort. Thus, it is crucial to analyze the relationship between residential building layouts and air temperature. We used the ENVI-met 3D microclimate model to simulate six typical residential building layouts and explore the diurnal and seasonal variations in air temperature. In addition, we used the physiological equivalent temperature (PET) as the evaluation index for the thermal comfort of different building layouts. The diurnal results showed that the air temperature of the parallel layout rose faster and fell faster, and these changes were more significant in summer. The results of the air temperature classifications indicated that the frequency of low-air-temperature areas in the parallel layout is approximately 12% smaller than that of the enclosed and semi-enclosed layouts, and the high-air-temperature area frequency is 11% higher than that of the enclosed and semi-enclosed layouts in summer. In winter, the frequency of low-air-temperature areas in the parallel layout is approximately 7% smaller than that of the enclosed and semi-enclosed layouts, and the high-air-temperature area frequency is 5% higher than that of the enclosed and semi-enclosed layouts. In combination with the PET results, we found that the enclosed layout is the optimal configuration. Moreover, in some cases, increased building height and vegetation lead to a reduction in air temperature.

To enhance the applicability of stereoscopic greening technology for the renovation of existing public buildings in high-density mountainous urban areas, this study conducted on-site investigations in a typical high-density mountainous urban area of Chongqing. This study collected data on the application of vertical greening technology in urban public buildings and analyzed the suitability of various vertical greening technologies for the renovation of public buildings. The results indicate that modular vertical greening is currently more suitable for the renovation of public buildings in such cities; however, further optimization is needed in terms of the overall compatibility, stability of modular units, and adaptability of modular plants to the local environment. This study can provide a theoretical basis for the feasibility of adopting vertical greening retrofitting for public buildings in high-density mountainous cities, and provide a reference for the planning and sustainable development of such cities.
