Assessing the importance of nitric acid and ammonia for particle growth in the polluted boundary layer

Andrea Baccarini, Imad El Haddad, Lubna Dada, Houssni Lamkaddam

Aerosols formed and grown by gas-to-particle processes are a major contributor to smog and haze in megacities, despite the competition between growth and loss rates. Rapid growth rates from ammonium nitrate formation have the potential to sustain particle ...

E-guerrilla 3D participation: Approach, implementation, and usability study

Jens Ingensand, Thibaud Nicolas Chassin

Typical urban participatory approaches engage citizens through lengthy sessions far from the area under transformation by an urban project. Several issues result from these settings of involvement including the mobilization of similar individuals, overwhel ...

A Simple Mixing-Length Model for Urban Canopy Flows

Fernando Porté Agel, Wai Chi Cheng

Urban canopy models (UCMs) developed based on Prandtl mixing-length theory provide a simple method for predicting urban flows. In the existing models, the Prandtl mixing length and the sectional drag coefficient of buildings are usually assumed to be unifo ...

Tree effects on urban microclimate: Diurnal, seasonal, and climatic temperature differences explained by separating radiation, evapotranspiration, and roughness effects

Gabriele Manoli, Matthias Roth, Paolo Burlando

Increasing urban tree cover is an often proposed mitigation strategy against urban heat as trees are expected to cool cities through evapotranspiration and shade provision. However, trees also modify wind flow and urban aerodynamic roughness, which can pot ...

Quantifying the impacts of urban morphology on modifying microclimate conditions in extreme weather conditions

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Kavan Javanroodi, Vahid Moussavi Nik

It is well-known that the morphology of urban areas modifies the variations of climate variables at microscale; known as microclimate conditions. The complexity of urban morphology can lead to undesired wind conditions or excessive air temperature; particu ...

An urban ecohydrological model to quantify the effect of vegetation on urban climate and hydrology (UT&C v1.0)

Gabriele Manoli, Matthias Roth, Paolo Burlando

Increasing urbanization is likely to intensify the urban heat island effect, decrease outdoor thermal comfort, and enhance runoff generation in cities. Urban green spaces are often proposed as a mitigation strategy to counteract these adverse effects, and ...

Proposed methodology for building-specific earthquake loss assessment including column residual axial shortening

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

This paper proposes methodological developments for quantifying the impact of residual axial shortening of first-story steel columns on earthquake loss estimations in steel moment-resisting frame (MRF) buildings. A new formulation is proposed that accounts ...

A digital workflow to quantify regenerative urban design in the context of a changing climate

Pietro Florio, Parag Rastogi, Emanuele Naboni

The regenerative approach to design goes beyond limiting the environmental impact of the built environment and towards the enrichment of the ecosystem, adaptation to climate change, and the improvement of human health. This concept is being applied to buil ...
