Synergising the thermal behaviour of water bodies within thermal environment of wetland settlements

Technological advancements towards the net-zero energy communities: A review on 23 case studies around the globe

“…Since it is a good approach to reduce the ambient temperature, it is the time to incorporate them extensively to the NZEC, specially for the settlements at hot climate zones. In addition, there are several existing techniques and elements [e.g., water bodies (Manteghi et al, 2015;Santamouris et al, 2017;Sun and Chen, 2012;Triyuly et al, 2021;Xu et al, 2010;Dominnguez et al, 2016)] that could be adopted to improve the thermal comfort of the environment within the community. b) Adaptation of the buildings: Currently, there is inadequate incorporation of the state-of-the-art passive elements within the buildings of the community.…”

“…Therefore, the consistency as well as accuracy of the results are still in the virtual phase and the actual field data is yet to be collected from the implemented settlements to visibly comprehend the effects of mitigation strategies to improve the thermal comfort and reduce the energy consumption at the community level. In addition, more mitigation resources (e.g., water bodies) could be utilized within the communities in parallel with the above-mentioned strategies (Manteghi et al, 2015;Santamouris et al, 2017;Sun and Chen, 2012;Triyuly et al, 2021;Xu et al, 2010;Dominnguez et al, 2016). • The outcome of mitigation of outdoor heat sources was not explicitly discussed.…”

Analyzing the Effect of Water Body on the Thermal Environment and Comfort at Indoor and Outdoor Spaces in Tropical University Campus

“…Triyuly, Triyadi, and Wonorahardjo [5] claimed that air temperature could be reduced during the daytime by exploiting the water body"s properties of air-cooling effect and delay in re-emission of heat energy. Wu, Wang, Fan, and Xia [6] showed that reservoir, lake, and green space have direct impacts on the urban thermal environment.…”
