Valéry Masson,Wieke Heldens,Erwan Bocher,Marion Bonhomme,Bénédicte Bucher,Cornelia Burmeister,Cécile de Munck,Thomas Esch,Julia Hidalgo,Farah Kanani-Sühring,Yu Ting Kwok,Aude Lemonsu,Jean-Pierre Lévy,Björn Maronga,Dirk Pavlik,Gwendall Petit,Linda See,Robert Schoetter,Nathalie Tornay,Athanasios Votsis,Julian Zeidler +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors classify the required urban input data for both mesoscale state-of-the-art Urban Canopy Models (UCMs) and microscale Obstacle Resolving Models (ORM) into five categories and review the ways in which they can be obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of passive design strategies in responding to future climate change for residential buildings in hot and humid Hong Kong
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the dynamic effectiveness of passive design strategies for residential buildings in Hong Kong under the context of future climate change using the newly developed hourly weather data and adaptive comfort standard model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the energy saving potential of applying shading panels on opaque façades: A case study for residential buildings in Hong Kong
TL;DR: This study proposes the adoption of shading devices on opaque facades and evaluates their energy saving potentials under near-extreme summer conditions by conducting building energy simulations and provides guidance to guide the design of facade shading features in different urban contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI
How well does the local climate zone scheme discern the thermal environment of Toulouse (France)? An analysis using numerical simulation data
Yu Ting Kwok,Robert Schoetter,Kevin Ka-Lun Lau,Julia Hidalgo,Chao Ren,Grégoire Pigeon,Valéry Masson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed the simple classification of local climate zones (LCZs) to conduct a spatiotemporal thermal climatic analysis of the Toulouse Metropolitan Region (France) under warm and dry summer conditions.
