1. | | Analysis of microclimatic diversity and outdoor thermal comfort perceptions in the tropical megacity Dhaka, Bangladesh | 48 | 2.72 | Urban microclimate urban geometry outdoor thermal comfort tropical hot-humid climate | Morphology—Diverse urban forms have positive effect on OTC & uniform urban forms increase UHI, traditional areas have lower air and mean radiant temperature than planned areas, people in diverse traditional areas perceive more comfortable. |
2. | | Spatial-temporal study on the effects of urban street configurations on human thermal comfort in the world heritage city of CamagŸey-Cuba | 73 | 2.56 | Human thermal comfort heritage urban centers urban morphology street microclimate physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) | Morphology—OTC at street level, strongly affected by aspect ratio and street orientation. N-S orientation is an effective strategy to mitigate heat stress in summer. |
3. | | Urban geometry and the microclimate of street canyons in tropical climate | 15 | 1.94 | Urban street canyons urban geometry canyon aspect ratio outdoor thermal comfort ENVI-met | Morphology—OTC at pedestrian level could be improved by increasing H/W in summer, but no significant impact by lengthening the canyon (higher L/H ratio), Deep canyons increase wind speeds and shading from buildings. |
4. | | Outdoor thermal comfort in public space in warm-humid Guayaquil, Ecuador | 49 | 1.79 | Outdoor thermal comfort, microclimate, subjective thermal comfort assessment, warm-humid, climate | Subjective thermal perception—people accept local thermal conditions which are above acceptable comfort limits in temperate climates and the subjective thermal perception varies within a wide range. |
5. | | Scale-integrated atmospheric simulations to assess thermal comfort in different urban tissues in the warm humid summer of Sao Paulo, Brazil | 39 | 1.77 | Micro-scale modelling meso-scale modelling outdoor thermal comfort street trees building density | Vegetation—Non-shaded areas exposed to solar radiation is strong in heat stress, low rise buildings gives less shade and more heat stress than high-rise. |
