Today's cities encounter significant challenges concerning urbanization and population
growth, resource availability, and climate change. Concurrently, unparalleled datasets are …

As the world warms, it will be tempting to relate the biological responses of terrestrial
animals to air temperature. But air temperature typically plays a lesser role in the heat …

A spatially and directionally resolved longwave and shortwave radiant heat transfer model is
presented via a series of experiments in a thermal lab to input surface temperatures and …

Daytime radiative cooling materials can help prevent overheating by keeping exterior roof
surfaces cool, but can they passively reject heat from inside buildings, overcoming thermal …

In an experimental study set in Singapore's tropical climate, we evaluated the thermal
environmental performance, energy consumption, and thermal comfort of air and radiant …

University campuses have various functional outdoor spaces characterized by diversified
spatial morphology. This study focuses on the local thermal environment of a university …

Classrooms pose a huge risk from the cross-infection of respiratory infections. However,
quantitative research on the combined effect of the location of the infected individual and …

Studies show that people can tolerate elevated temperatures in the presence of appreciable
air movement (eg, from using ceiling fans). This minimises the use of air-conditioners and …

Thermal comfort is crucial for people well-being and productivity in buildings, and it has a
strong effect on building's energy usage. The main models for assessing thermal comfort …

Radiant systems are an energy-efficient method for providing cooling to building occupants
through active surfaces. To assess the impact of the radiant environment on occupants in …
