Abstract:

The goal of this creative project was to develop a unit to be incorporated into an environmental education general studies course at Ball State University. The unit was developed as a hands-on experience activity manual.The goals of the unit were:1. to increase student awareness of the effect vegetation and water have on human comfort in the urban environment.2. to engage students in hands-on activities that relate methods for manipulating the microclimate of a space.3. to develop a pre-test/post-test containing questions which relate to the activity topics and which determine the topic knowle

Abstract:

Temporal variation in the first day of egg-laying of the Blue Tit within a deciduous woodland is accounted for by the small but significant spatial differences in microclimate, particularly temperatures. The warmer areas, which are confined to the southern half of the wood, are also characterised by larger clutch sizes and greater survival of nestlings into the local population. Furthermore, examination of the total breeding avifauna of this wood shows densities to be highest in the warmer areas and particularly along the south-facing edge zones.

Gas, electricity, heating and cooling buildings - comfort â our lives revolve around fossil fuels. Technology and the demands of living in todayâ s society add to our gigantic fossil fuel appetite. With gas prices topping three dollars per gallon, changes must be made. This thesis project presents an analysis of passive solar landscape design (PSLD) principles used to create microclimates within the landscape, and thereby increasing human comfort both indoors and outdoors. The analysis includes case study results of fossil fuel consumption and PSLD implementation. Microclimat

Pour définir le cadre de vie, on emploie souvent le terme d'ambiance, une ambiance faisant référence à un ensemble psycho-culturel complexe. Pour les acteurs du projet, maitriser une ambiance, c'est agir sur les phénomènes physiques et comprendre les facteurs sociaux. La problématique de la représentation des ambiances interroge la prise en compte par le concepteur des phénomènes climatiques et sonores dans le projet architectural et urbain.

Abstract:

With population growth and climate change issues, cities will face social, economic and environmental challenges. They are accountable for most of the energy consumption and GHG emissions, and the building sector represents roughly 40% of the final energy consumption worldwide. Still, cities transform by renewing or creating districts, which design comes with specific engineering and management methods. Simulations tools at district scale might lead to more sustainable urban development by considering phenomena at such scale. Energy, microclimate and aeraulic simulations are performed on two s

This paper explores winter patios in Edmonton through the lens of place and climate sensitive design, then reflects upon the existing regulations that influence the design and management of winter patios in Edmonton. The City of Edmonton provides this research opportunity because it is currently pursuing the creation of a four-season patio culture in the city, and has created a strong WinterCity agenda. The introduction explores Edmonton’s local climate and its winter city strategy. This is followed by an explanation of the study’s methodology. The purpose of this thesis is to study how climat

Abstract:

The present doctoral thesis engages in an internal environment of wooden buildings. Currently, the specialists endeavour to design and realize this type of buildings as low-energy consuming. In an effort, they minimize the thermal losses by reduction of heat transfer coefficient of external walls and reduction or elimination of their air permeability. Not always structural and technical requirements of this kind of buildings are satisfied and also a sanitary and health protection is not fully sustained. Increase in a relative air humidity of internal environment has a negative impact on moistu

Abstract:

By 2050, the world’s population is expected to reach 9.7 billion, with over half living in urban settlements (United Nations, 2015). Planning and designing new urban developments and improving existing infrastructure will create or reshape urban landscapes and will carry significant implications for energy consumption, infrastructure costs, and the urban microclimate on a larger scale. Researchers and industry professionals must recognize how changes in land use affect the urban microclimate and, therefore, building energy consumption.

Abstract:

An animal’s ability to find thermal comfort can be can be limited within a zoo enclosure. This creates a need to design comfortable microclimates for the animal within their enclosure space. This is an exploratory study intended to investigate the relationships between an elephant’s movements throughout their space and the microclimatic conditions within its zoological enclosure. By outlining an understanding of microclimates and how they are affected by the landscape combined with knowledge of elephant behaviours it will be possible design or plan for microclimatic use within zoo enclosures

Thermal comfort receives little priority in the planning and design of bicycle pathways. Design tools are required to illustrate the importance of the relationship between climate and bicycling activity to improve the bicycling experience and extend the bicycling season in a cold climate. Microclimatic and bicycle pathway design principles were integrated with a COMFA model to simulate the thermal comfort of users bicycling on a proposed pathway in Ottawa, Canada. Modelling results predicted bicyclists could be thermally comfortable travelling at a steady-state speed of 16.0-19.2 km/h, but pre

Landscape characteristics affect vineyard microclimates and influence the quality of grapes produced. There is currently a lack of research examining the microclimatological conditions of vineyards and how they affect grape quality. This study utilizes qualitative methods to explore the relationship between vineyard microclimates and grape quality in Madeira, Portugal. Semi-structured interviews have been conducted with local participants involved in the production of wine grapes and are used to reveal the factors affecting grape quality. Interviews accompany a physical inventory of landscape

Abstract:

abstract: Urban-induced heating is a challenge to the livability and health of city dwellers. It is a complex issue that many cities are facing, and a more urgent hazard in hot urban deserts (HUDs) than elsewhere due to already high temperatures and aridity. The challenge compounds in the absence of more localized heat mitigation understanding. In addition, over-reliance on evidence from temperate regions is disconnected from the actualities of extreme bioclimatic dynamics found in HUDs.

Most scientific studies concerning energy conservation benefits of trees have been completed in cooling dominated climates or have involved model-based engineering studies.

A June 1, 2011 tornado in Springfield, Massachusetts has damaged a randomized sample of the urban canopy cover in Springfield. These events provide natural, controlled experiments to quantify the energy use impact of trees in real-world settings. Large-scale tree removal
