Therefore, adaptation measures should be adapted not only to suit the climate but also to the occupants. A holistic methodology is proposed to customise comfort index by adjusting them to the specific preferences of the occupants. The methodology involves collecting subjective and objective data. A measurement procedure is designed to gather comprehensive information, including a low-cost effective procedure to disaggregate the Mean Radiant Temperature between long and short-wavelength effects, essential for outdoor comfort. This customisation is applied to the COMFA index in different real cases. The results show that children in relaxed environments demonstrate 50 % higher resilience than the standard scale, while adults can tolerate 30 % higher thermal loads than the standard when resting. Furthermore, under identical circumstances, children exhibit 8 % greater resilience than adults. Conversely, radiant exchange decomposition indicates that a 30 % augmentation in the short wavelength effect is associated with a 45 % increase in the occupant's thermal load. This methodology facilitates the identification of measures to achieve optimal levels of comfort adapted to the occupants in any climate and area under study. It also contributes to the promotion of urban design and planning that enhances the resilience of citizens.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48626,"journal":{"name":"Urban Climate","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 102484"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144281189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These simulations incorporated the synoptic background averaged over the twelve events and compared scenarios with and without the cities in the PRD. Results reveal that these events are characterized by prevailing westerly flows in the mid-troposphere and low-level southwesterly flows south of the shear lines, which transport air with high equivalent potential temperature to the PRD.

Simulations indicate that the existence of urban heat islands (UHI) in megacities significantly enhances downstream convection initiation and precipitation along the northeastern urban boundaries. This UHI-induced local convection, combined with urban dynamic effects, hinders further inland transport of warm, moist air by impeding low-level southwesterly flows and depleting moisture resources.

In this context, this study developed a methodology to characterize the microclimate in historical city centers, using the Mediterranean city of Málaga in southern Spain as a paradigmatic case study. To this end, field measurements were carried out by using a bicycle mobile station and a handheld thermal imaging camera along the so-called Picassian route, covering eleven different streets and eight historical buildings (eleven façades) where air and surface temperatures were collected. The results showed significant differences in the values of air and surface temperatures, so studies of urban microclimate should consider both types of temperatures together, and especially the temperature of building façades, which is often ignored due to the lack of open data about it but has notable different patterns. An analysis of the relationship between field data and a range of spatial factors related to the morphology and surface artificiality of urban areas revealed that shading and tree planting might provide a solution to heat mitigation. For historical centers with important space constraints, these solutions may consist of installing awnings and green façades.","PeriodicalId":48626,"journal":{"name":"Urban Climate","volume":"623 1","pages":"102490"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144290042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Temporal Convolutional Neural Networks (TCNN) have recently emerged as a promising method for spatial-temporal modeling. To further improve the accuracy and temporal modeling effectiveness of TCNN, the Temporal Convolutional Attention Neural Network (TCAN) was developed, enhancing the receptive field coverage of TCNNs. However, TCAN has a limitation in that it cannot effectively utilize earlier input time steps for later predictions in multi-step autoregressive forecasting, which constrains its application in electricity series forecasting. In this work, novel deep learning models, GTCAN-P and GTCAN-M, based on spatial-temporal big data are introduced to further improve TCAN. The models allow the network to access all past time steps by employing padding and masking mechanisms, respectively. The effectiveness of the proposed methods was evaluated on real-world electricity datasets, including two building energy consumption datasets and three solar power generation datasets, and compared with statistical models and state-of-the-art deep learning models.
