Thermal comfort in outdoor urban spaces: understanding the human parameter
TL;DR: The initial results demonstrate that a purely physiological approach is inadequate in characterising comfort conditions outdoors, and an understanding of the dynamic human parameter is necessary in designing spaces for public use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal comfort in outdoor urban spaces: Analysis across different European countries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of the European project, RUROS, primarily concerned with the environmental and comfort conditions of open spaces in cities, and confirm a strong relationship between microclimatic and comfort condition, with air temperature and solar radiation being important determinants of comfort, although one parameter alone is not sufficient for the assessment of thermal comfort conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A physiological strain index to evaluate heat stress
TL;DR: A physiological strain index, based on rectal temperature and heart rate, capable of indicating heat strain online and analyzing existing databases, has been developed and has the potential to be widely accepted and to serve universally after extending its validity to women and other age groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of asymmetry, galleries, overhanging façades and vegetation on thermal comfort in urban street canyons
Fazia Ali-Toudert,Helmut Mayer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the street vertical profile, including asymmetrical canyon shapes, the use of galleries and further shading devices on the facades, arranged in various orientations are assessed.

Outdoor thermal comfort and outdoor activities: A review of research in the past decade
Liang Chen,Edward Ng +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of research over the past decade on the behavioral aspects of outdoor thermal comfort and the use of outdoor space in the context of urban planning, and further discuss a general framework for assessing indoor thermal comfort based on behavioral aspects and the need for predicting tools in the design and planning of outdoors thermal comfort.
