From physical surfaces to human-centric heat stress: LST and UTCI heat mapping reveals nonlinear effects of urban morphology
Yuan Wang, Shengao Yi, Xiaojiang Li +4
Heat exposure connects the built environment and public health, directly shaping the livability and sustainability of urban areas. Understanding the spatial heterogeneity of heat e…
Airborne assessment uncovers socioeconomic stratification of urban nature in England
Andrés Camilo Zúñiga-González, Anil Madhavapeddy, Ronita Bardhan
Nature access is increasingly recognised as a public health and equity imperative, yet cities lack standardised ways to measure who benefits from green infrastructure. We present t…
Heatwave increases nighttime light intensity in hyperdense cities of the Global South: A double machine learning study
Ramit Debnath, Taran Chandel, Fengyuan Han +1
Heatwaves, intensified by climate change and rapid urbanisation, pose significant threats to urban systems, particularly in the Global South, where adaptive capacity is constrained…
NEBULA: A National Scale Dataset for Neighbourhood-Level Urban Building Energy Modelling for England and Wales
Grace Colverd, Ronita Bardhan, Jonathan Cullen
Buildings are significant contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 26% of global energy sector emissions in 2022. Meeting net zero goals requires a rapid red…
Energy Mapping of Existing Building Stock in Cambridge using Energy Performance Certificates and Thermal Infrared Imagery
Yinglong He, Jiayu Pan, Ramit Debnath +6
Energy performance certificate (EPC) and thermal infrared (TIR) images both play a key role in the energy performance mapping of the urban building stock. In this paper, we develop…
Time-evolving Impact of Trees on Street Canyon Microclimate
Haiwei Li, Yongling Zhao, Ronita Bardhan +3
Nowadays, cities are frequently exposed to heatwaves, worsening the outdoor thermal comfort and increasing cooling energy demand in summer. Urban forestry is seen as one of the via…
The time-evolving impact of tree size on nighttime street canyon microclimate: Wind tunnel modeling of aerodynamic effects and heat removal
Yongling Zhao, Haiwei Li, Ronita Bardhan +3
Urban trees play a crucial role in urban climate in many aspects. However, existing research has not adequately explored the impact from a time-evolving perspective, that is, tree…
Aligning Three-Decade Surge in Urban Cooling with Global Warming
Haiwei Li, Yongling Zhao, Ronita Bardhan +5
Rising demand for space cooling has been placing enormous strain on various technological, environmental, and societal dimensions, resulting in issues related to energy consumption…
India nudges to contain COVID-19 pandemic: a reactive public policy analysis using machine-learning based topic modelling
Ramit Debnath, Ronita Bardhan
India locked down 1.3 billion people on March 25, 2020 in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic. The economic cost of it was estimated at USD 98 billion, while the social costs are still u…
