Abstract:This project aims to evaluate the impact of water surfaces on urban microclimate change and the presence of water in dense urban areas on the heating and cooling loads of buildings by proposing the rehabilitation of urban water resources. It mainly questions whether favorable outcomes for urban microclimate may be expected at the local level with the rehabilitation of water bodies and the contribution of repaired water lines to energy savings in nearby buildings. The analyses are made for Erzurum, the coldest … Show more
