Thermal performance of outdoor tropical environment

Thermal performance of outdoor tropical environment

The landscape setting very much shapes the thermal performance of the outdoor environment. The influencing variables are vegetation and ground surface materials among others. This paper presents the impact of landscape settings on the microclimate of three sites with different landscape environment....
