“…In the literature, there are recent studies and reviews that address the impact of microclimate effects, namely the UHI formation on urban environment. Mirabi and Davies [34] reviewed the impact of different types of urban infrastructures, such as rails, road networks and systems and utility corridors, on UHI effect. Zhou et al [35] reviewed the interaction between PV systems in the urban environment through CFD analysis.…”

Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) consists of PV panels that are integrated into the building as part of the construction. This technology has advantages such as the production of electricity without necessary additional land area. This paper provides a literature review about the recent developments in urban building energy modelling, including tools and methods, and the effect of PV systems on building outdoor and indoor environments. It is also intended to provide a critical analysis on how PV systems affect the urban environment, both from an energy and a comfort point of view. The urban heat island development is introduced and related with the existence of PV systems. It is concluded that data acquisition is still a weakness in urban building energy modelling, especially in what concerns non-geometric data, which leads to a major source of errors. The availability of data is a challenge because frequently they are not accessible, due to privacy, high-cost or other reasons. Also, methodologies to develop precise archetypes for creating urban building energy models are lacking.

“…The urbanization process has increased rapidly in China due to a significant increase in economic growth. According to a report from the National Bureau of Statistics of China from 2011, urbanization increased by 13.5% in China between 2000 and the end of 2010, increasing the UHI effects [9,[28][29][30]. A study conducted by Yang et al examined the evolution of urban heat islands and vegetation coverage in Zhengzhou City [31].…”

A rapid increase in urbanization has caused severe urban heat island (UHI) effects in China over the past few years. Zhengzhou is one of the emerging cities of China where residents are facing strong impact of UHI. By utilizing MODIS data on land surface temperature (LST) and employing 3S technology, this study investigates the UHI phenomenon in Zhengzhou over a 10-year period (2012–2021), aiming to analyze the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of the UHI effect and the associated land cover changes. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first attempt to investigate annual and seasonal changes in different areas of Zhengzhou. It is noted that in the night-time, the intensity of the heat island is stronger than in daytime, which has moderate and weak heat island areas. Seasonal variation showed that in autumn, Zhengzhou has the strong heat island intensity, followed by summer, and the lowest is in winter and spring. The analysis reveals that built-up (construction) areas exhibit the highest LST, whereas forested land and water bodies have the lowest temperature levels. The findings of this study can serve as reference for reducing UHI and increasing thermal comfort in cities.

“…Muchos expertos coinciden en que existen 3 categorías donde se engloban las principales causas del efecto de isla de calor. Estas categorías son las ambientales, los factores socioeconómicos y la morfología urbana (Mirabi y Davies 2022). Las características ambientales son las más complicadas de controlar, puesto que depende del lugar donde nos encontremos.…”

Indoor temperatures in buildings and their urban environment are increasing every year, especially in hot climates, moving increasingly away from the desired comfort conditions. The scarcity of vegetation and the use of conventional materials in urban areas lead to a worsening of environmental conditions, feeding the urban heat island effect. It also affects indoor comfort, increasing electricity consumption for air conditioning and, consequently, greenhouse gas emissions. This work evaluates the impact of urban transformation on the thermal demand and comfort of adjacent buildings in an urban space. This is located in the Avenida Cruz Roja in Seville, the object of a real bioclimatic urban design intervention. For this purpose, the buildings involved are organized into clusters, assessing the impact on indoor demand and comfort of the different mitigation measures proposed in each cluster. In this way, adaptation to climate change not only provides the necessary conditions for citizens to enjoy life in the street again, but also benefits buildings, reducing their demand and increasing the comfort of their occupants.
