Thermal comfort levels classified by aspect ratio and orientation for three zones of a street in Rotterdam

Thermal comfort and micro-climates around buildings are important issues in urban planning that affect everyone's daily lives. During heat waves, the Mean Radiant Temperature (T mrt ) has been found to be closely connected to the thermal comfort distribution at the micro-scale. In this study, w...
