At the scale of the urban neighbourhood economies of scale make the local centralised management of resources (energy, water and waste) viable, with considerable environmental dividends. It is also possible to layout buildings to optimise their utilisation ...
Rapid population growth and city expansion, along with scarce resources for planning and management, are widely shared characteristics of southern cities. The System for Monitoring Urban Functionalities (SMURF) has been designed and developed for the city ...
The scope of this paper is to provide an exptl. and modeling contribution on the role of suspended lower tropospheric particles to the UV spectral irradiance reaching the ground in urban environments. The UV spectral irradiance was measured with a UV spect ...
Expected urban air concentrations of the gasoline additive methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) were calculated using volatile emissions estimates and screening transport models, and these predictions were compared with Boston, MA, area urban air measurement ...
This paper presents a novel method to predict the outdoor ground surface temperature, which can be useful in the estimation of urban heat islands (UHI) eect. A model is developed based on a multi-layer ground surface energy balance calculated on an hourly ...
