Abstract
Climate change can be tackled by a careful design of urban density, buildings distance and orientation, and materials in order to pursue indoor and outdoor comfort, and low building energy consumption. The research develops a methodology to holistically coupling overheating risks, cooling energy consumption, and pedestrian comfort for the careful design of cluster configurations of office buildings in the city of Tallinn, Estonia. The outcomes can help climate conscious design in Nordic cities. Solutions are provided to reduce overheating up to 23.6% and to increase urban comfort up to 13.5%. © 2020 Society for Modeling & Simulation International (SCS)I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
