Extending the adaptive thermal comfort models for courtyards
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
Temperatures in Mediterranean cities are rising due to the effects of climate change, with a consequent increase in the heat waves frequency. Recent research has shown the tempering potential of semi-outdoor spaces such ...

Comparison and Validation of Two Simulation Workflows for Courtyard Microclimates
(Universidad de La Coruña, 2020)
The simulation of urban microclimates in a way that is flexible enough to be included in the early design stages is still a problem to be solved. Furthermore, the necessity to find a balance between accuracy, provided by ...
