This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

This session aims to understand how the urban microclimate impacts indoor air quality, ventilation, thermal comfort and energy consumption. In particular, the first presentation will summarize a multi-scale modeling approach to quantify impacts of urban microclimate on indoor air quality and building energy use patterns. Then the impact of different albedo surfaces on the microclimate will be examined in the second presentation. The talk will also demonstrate the change in building energy demand and outdoor thermal comfort. Last, the session will discuss the influence of urban planning on building cross-ventilation together with data-driven models for quick design decision-making.
