| Περίληψη: | Increasing urban vegetation is known worldwide to be a strategy for mitigating urban heat islands. This study evaluates how the energy balance of an urban canyon is affected by different combinations of urban morphology, tree species features, and building density. The thermal behaviors of 16 urban canyons, 16, 20 and 30m in width, located in areas of high and low building density, with three predominant types of tree species in the city were monitored in summer, in addition to one tree-free case. The COMFA energy balance model was used to assess the degree of habitability of open spaces. The results show that the appropriate selection of tree species is the key to maximizing the energy efficiency and habitability of urban spaces in areas of low building density in the city. |
