Tóm tắt

 This book is relevant to architects, urban designers, planners, and policy makers concerned with enhancing climate-sensitive urban form and planning. It discusses building and neighborhood design: layout and design features that maximize energy efficiency and thermal comfort without compromising the ability of other buildings to enjoy similar benefits
  the use of interstitial spaces (piazzas, streets, and parks) to improve the microclimate at the neighbourhood-level
  design intervention case studies
  innovative uses of interstitial spaces to improve the local climate at the neighborhood level
  and urban radiative cooling solutions to mitigate the unintended climate consequences of urban growth and suggestions for ways forward.
