Project

Description

This study evaluates the correlation between six ‘urban design parameters’ determined and five performance metrics -urban heat island, thermal comfort, energy, daylighting, and wind comfort.

This study discusses the results in terms of climatic  differences for three cities:

Berlin, Izmir, Singapore. 

This study was the preliminary step to develop "Pyramid Urban Model" during my PhD.
