1 Mitigating and adapting thermal stress with urban green - Quantification with measurements and micro scale models Andreas Matzarakis

2 Outline Assessment of climate and climate Change: air temperature, Thermal comfort for humans Thermal indices Free/available models - limitations Limitation/Challenges and existing/future solutions? Examples: Palma, Athens, Valencia, Italia

3 Effect of the thermal atmosphere on humans Assessment of effects of climate Not only air temperature Air humidity Wind Radiation Thermo-physiology (activity and clothing) Energy balance of humans Physiologically Equivalent Temperature Thermal index (Matzarakis, 2007)

4 Pattern: Ta, PET

5 Concept: equivalent temperatures 1.1 m 1.1 m Modern Thermal Indices (derived thermal indices: PMV, PET, SET*, PT, UTCI) Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET): Definition: thermal comfort: PET = 20 C M work = 80 W I cl = 0.9 clo T a T mrt VP T mrt = T a v = 0.1m/s VP = 12 hpa v T core T core T Skin T Skin

6 Thermal perception and stress Thermal indices (PMV, PET), Thermal perception, Physiological stresss Threshold values of thermal indices PMV and PET for different grades of thermal sensitivity of human beings and physiological stress on human beings (according to Matzarakis and Mayer, 1996) Adjustment of the assessment scale: Taiwan, (Nigeria), Israel, Greece, Hungary,

7 Thermal Sensation in different climate zones Thermal Western/ Tel Aviv Nigeria Taiwan sensation Middle Europe Differences in thermal perception Very cold Cold Cool Slightly cool Neutral Slightly warm Warm Hot Very Hot Sources: Matzarakis & Mayer, 1996; Lin and Matzarakis, 2008; Cohen et al. 2012; Omonijo et al

9 Input Data Weather/Climate data Average human response Example: T core, Tmrt v vp Ta Multi-node Thermophysiogical Model + Clothing Model local T skin, skin wettedness, thermal sensation, etc. Thermal Index e.g. PET. UTCI,. Input: challenges (wind, Tmrt) Source: G. Jendritzky All thermal indices require same meteorological input
