Evaluating the Effects of Façade Greening on Human Bioclimate in a Complex Urban Environment

The evaluation of the effectiveness of countermeasures for a reduction of urban heat stress, such as façade greening, is challenging due to lacking transferability of results from one location to another. Furthermore, complex variables such as the mean radiant temperature (Tmrt) are necessary to ass...
