Numerical evaluation of thermal comfort in traditional courtyards to develop new microclimate design in a hot and dry climate (2017)
Journal Article
Nasrollahi, N., Hatami, M., Khastar, S., & Taleghani, M. (2017). Numerical evaluation of thermal comfort in traditional courtyards to develop new microclimate design in a hot and dry climate. Sustainable Cities and Society, 35, 449-467. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2017.08.017

The growing interest in thermal comfort of outdoor environments yields in different analysis on courtyards as a common space between urban and architectural scales. However, there is a limited knowledge regarding the microclimatic behavior of such sp...

The effect of pavement characteristics on pedestrians' thermal comfort in Toronto (2017)
Journal Article
Taleghani, M., & Berardi, U. (2017). The effect of pavement characteristics on pedestrians' thermal comfort in Toronto. Urban Climate, 24, 449-459. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.uclim.2017.05.007

Urban heat island (UHI) has proved to have an important effect in urban microclimate of large cities. In particular, the materials used for the pavements of urban spaces and sidewalks affect pedestrians' comfort significantly. Dark materials store so...
