“…It is also important to note that only a limited number of the selected articles addressed the institutional and cultural challenges associated with the implementation of new techniques or practices in tropical cities. Although the work by Emmanuel (2018) highlighted some institutional and cultural challenges in implementing passive climate-sensitive design strategies in tropical regions, further research is needed to comprehensively address these aspects.…”

Tropical regions are known for their complex ecosystems and biodiversity, which play a vital role in regulating the global climate. However, researching tropical cities can be challenging due to the need for multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional approaches. In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to gain a structured understanding of the developments and characteristics of tropical cities research in the last decade. We identified the fundamental influences in tropical cities research, based on four major sub-topics: climate change, sustainable urbanization, protecting biodiversity, and urban resource management. We examined the connections between these themes and performed a systematic literature review on each. Our analysis provides a comprehensive trend analysis of tropical cities, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Our findings aim to provide a solid foundation for bridging the gaps for future crosscutting research.

“…This behavior is interconnected and becomes more complex with the dependency on a variety of design factors of the building concerned as well. Further overcrowding which leads to smaller building plot sizes results in diminishing the ability to cool buildings due to the thermal interference of neighboring structures [38]. However, there is currently no simple matrix for quantifying integrated heat risks on buildings in tropics and further the performance of building façade cannot be looked in isolation.…”

“…Benefit of climatically linking inside and immediate outside of a building with substantial shading has been highlighted for indoor comfort improvements [38]. The research evidences suggest manipulation of plan form, sectional form and orientation can create shading on the external building façades against direct solar access creating shaded building microclimates that would be central to reduce heat transfer through the façade.…”

Environmental heat stress on buildings through façades contributes to indoor overheating and thus increases demand for energy consumption. The study analyzed the problem, heat gain risk, of modern air-conditioned multi-level office buildings in tropics, for example Colombo. Plan form, orientation, sectional form and envelope were identified and theorized to understand design interventions to reduce the risk of getting heat stress on indoor environments. On-site thermal performance investigations in multi zones of identified three typical built forms, namely; shallow, deep and covered atrium plan forms, quantified the heat stress. Reaching the daytime indoor and surface temperature in peripheral zones of multi-story office buildings during air conditioning “off-mode” up to 38 °C–42 °C was seen as a critical heat stress situation to be addressed through building design. Shading or insulation on façades to control environmental heat gain and manipulation of building section for night ventilation to remove internal heat developed during the daytime are discussed. However, the significance of the plan form depth was found to be a main contributor in dealing with heat transfer to indoor space. Deep plan form was found to be more effective in controlling environmental heat transfer to indoor space across the plan depth.
