  1. 1. ACCESS TO URBAN COOL AND GREEN SPACES FOR OLD ADULTS IN GOTHENBURG – A GIS-BASED ANALYSIS OF RADIANT HEAT

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Robert Klein; [2023-01-19]
    Nyckelord :urban climate; heat stress; mean radiant temperature; SOLWEIG; urban vegetation; urban planning;

    Sammanfattning : Old adults are particularly vulnerable against heat stress. Considering the ageing society and the projected increase of heat events, planning for heat-resilient urban environments for old adults will become increasingly important. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Optimization of Thermal Comfort on Electric Buses : A Comprehensive Study on Passenger Satisfaction in Stockholm, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Författare :Ellinor Hambraeus; Maxwell Minotta Cuervo; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Electric bus; Bus temperature; Thermal comfort; Energy efficiency; Predicted Mean Vote; Equivalent temperature v; Elbuss; busstemperatur; termisk komfort; energieffektivisering; Predicted Mean Vote; Ekvivalent temperatur vii;

    Sammanfattning : The transition towards electrification in the bus sector is necessary to achieve the global climate goals and has gained significant traction in recent years. However, there are critical challenges associated with this transition, one of them being the absence of excess heat that traditional combustion engines provided to warm the bus cabin. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Evaluation of Heat Mapping Techniques – the Case of Linköping

    Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten

    Författare :Pei Zhao; [2023]
    Nyckelord :correlation analysis; spatial analysis; land surface temperature LST ; mean radiant temperature MRT ; vulnerable population;

    Sammanfattning : Land surface temperature (LST) and mean radiant temperature (MRT) are commonly used as proxies to evaluate urban heat environments. Many scholars use one of them to represent heat exposure when assessing the urban thermal environment. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Desert garden techniques to ameliorate urban microclimates : an example of application in Granada, Spain

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Författare :Otto Lundberg; [2022]
    Nyckelord :climate change; Egyptian gardens; Persian gardens; Alhambra; urban heat island; desert gardens;

    Sammanfattning : In this day and age we are faced with urban cores getting hotter, with the main drivers being climate change and the urban heat island effect. This gets even more complicated as the parts of Europe that have the largest need too cool down, i.e. the south, has the least amount of space available for interventions in the form of green space.

  7. 5. Outdoor thermal comfort in Drottninghög, Helsingborg: a study on the effects of urban densification in a warmer climate

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Daniel Erlström; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Extreme heat can lead to a significant increase in mortality, especially for urban citizens. Densification of urban areas can dramatically affect the local climate of the city by replacing green areas with impermeable materials and changing both radiative and turbulent fluxes. LÄS MER
