Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]it is believed that the investigations that are implemented and enriched are those that tend to highlight synchronization between low energy impact and quality of life, demonstrating that where passive measures are adopted to reduce the energy impact, people live better in terms of urban comfort. The tool is capable of drawing the complex city, tying it to all external demands (climate forcing, energy limits, changes in materials, etc.) and quickly reading the characteristics of the urban fabric and conditions of environmental comfort generated. [...]a parametric tool is proposed to generate urban volumes (replacing the classical technique of manual drawing), quickly modifying the geometries and material characteristics of the given portion of city and allowing for the analysis and comparison of multiple scenarios. In New York, on the other hand, the urban heat island effect creates a slight increase in summer temperatures, but seems to draw greater benefit in the winter when the urban temperature increases punctually, creating a thermal gradient of 6-7°C (Fig. 4). The resulting isopleths and graphs are meant to act as support for design, providing a pre- liminary detailed analysis and becoming a fundamental means to design climate and technological devices that can improve the urban context analysed. Since this is an open, complex analysis capable of determining additional effective solutions and output that can be validated, this work represents the first step in defining a tool that is even more effective in hypothesizing interventions that consider the parametric variables referring to the dynamics of urban transformations, such as economic and social factors.
