TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ENVI-met to simulate outdoor air temperature, mean radiant temperature, wind speed and relative humidity, and RayMan was used to convert these data into Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET).

TL;DR: Three adaptive thermal comfort standards are comprehensively reviewed: the American ASHRAE 55-2010 standard, the European EN15251 standard, and the Dutch ATG guideline and a case study from the Netherlands is compared.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of heat mitigation strategies on climate condition and energy consumption have been studied and compared, and the most common strategies for improving the thermal conditions in cities are focused on vegetation (in the form of parks, street trees, green roofs and green walls), and highly reflective materials (on roof and on the ground level).

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of four heat mitigation strategies on micrometeorology and the thermal comfort of pedestrians were simulated for a neighborhood in eastern Los Angeles County, and the strategies investigated include solar reflective “cool” roofs, vegetative “green roofs, solar reflective cool pavements, and increased street-level trees.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of vegetation, high albedo surfaces, and courtyard ponds as potential heat mitigation strategies using field measurements and simulations in a university campus environment.
