From urban climate to energy consumption. Enhancing building performance simulation by including the urban heat island effect
Massimo Palme,Luis Inostroza,Luis Inostroza,Geovanna Villacreses,Andrea Lobato-Cordero,Claudio Carrasco +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology to incorporate the urban heat island effect in building performance simulation is proposed, and the results indicate that when UHI is incorporated, an increase in energy demand between 15% and 200% can be expected.

Quantitative Analysis of Factors Contributing to Urban Heat Island Effect in Cities of Latin-American Pacific Coast
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Urban Weather Generator tool (UWG) to test the influence of some factors (density, vertical growth, loss of green, electricity and cars) on the resulting summer time UHI intensity in cities of the Pacific Latin-American coast.

Claudio Carrasco,Massimo Palme,Miguel Angel Galvez +2 more
- 30 Nov 2016
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present climate performance data associated with the morphology of the city of Valparaiso, which has a coastal Mediterranean climate, and find a close relationship between urban morphology, the thermal behavior of public spaces and an increased temperature favoring the urban heat island phenomenon.
