building thermal energy demand

Impact of shortwave multiple reflections in an urban street canyon on building thermal energy demands

The urban fabric plays a fundamental role in convective and radiative heat exchanges between buildings. The main parameters which influence these heat exchange mechanisms are due to climate conditions such as air temperatures/humidity, wind speed/direction and solar irradiance. These weather data are related on where our cities are located rather than on how they are built.
