Increasing economic development, and growing population, generated during the last decades a very important growth of cities. Urban regions include nowadays more than half of the global population and, by 2030, this proportion is forecasted to increase to ...
The determination of the sensible heat flux over urban terrain is challenging due to irregular surface geometry and surface types. To address this, in 2006–07, a major field campaign (LUCE) took place at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne campus, ...
Climate has a direct impact on cities' energy flows due to the space conditioning (heating, cooling) needs of the buildings accommodated. This impact may be reinforced due to climate change and to the (so called) urban heat island effect. The corresponding ...
In this paper we present an application of GIS and airborne light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data analysis for computation of morphological properties of buildings' descriptors in the context of an urban morphogenesis geo-simulator. The morphological de ...

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 ...
