This paper presents a bioclimatic study of an open space in an urbanarea by the use of simulation tools giving emphasis on the replacement of conventional materials withcool materials. Routes linking traditional monuments in the Greek city of Florina are characterized ofdecreased human thermal comfort conditions during summer time. The employment of computationalfluid dynamics has contributed in the understanding of what interventions should be made on urbanpopulated routes in order to meet defined thermal related targets during the warmest day of the year.The proposed replacement of conventional materials by “cool” ones would result in the reduction of themean surface temperature by 3.52◦C while the mean maximum air temperature would be reduced by1.39◦C during noon of the warmest day. 7 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0subject matter expert LOMv1.0 publisher LOMv1.0 Project Final Beneficiary LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2014 Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text Cool materials CFD modeling Open space 3107584 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/3493/2/3493_Florina.pdf URI http://hdl.handle.net/10795/3493 LOMv1.0creator 2016-05-31T06:48:59Z LOMv1.0validator 2016-05-31T06:48:59Z LOMv1.0 gre no no Copyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
