Microclimate development in open urban spaces: The influence of form and materials

- Microclimate data measured in different urban spaces (squares, parks, courtyards).
- Data for surface, air and globe temperatures, humidity, wind speed, solar radiation.
- Effects of ground surface materials, shading, vegetation, water.
- High pavement albedo reduces surface temperatures and increases globe temperatures.
- Tree shade has the largest influence on microclimate and pedestrian thermal comfort.
