Assessment of thermal indices applicability in Cyprus

Pantavou K., Giallouros G., Lykoudis S., (Corresponding) Nikolopoulos G.

Topic:

Environmental data analysis and modelling

Thermal indices are commonly used to assess outdoor thermal environments. This study aims to examine the applicability of popular thermal indices for the assessment of thermal sensation in Cyprus. Field surveys were conducted in outdoor public sites in five districts of the Republic of Cyprus. The...Read more

Pedestrian preferences of urban design features in city squares of Athens, Greece

(Corresponding) Pantavou K., Koletsis I., Lykoudis S., Tsiros I.

Topic:

Environmental data analysis and modelling

Public open spaces improve the quality of life in cities and form places for community gatherings and outdoor activities. This study examines the preference of pedestrians for the design features of urban squares. Field surveys on the perception of environmental stimuli were conducted in five...Read more

Validation of ENVI-met microscale model with in-situ measurements in warm thermal conditions across Athens area

Koletsis I., Tseliou A., Lykoudis S., Tsiros I., Lagouvardos K., Psiloglou B., Founda D., (Corresponding) Pantavou K.

Topic:

Environmental data analysis and modelling

Validation is critical for quantifying accuracy, errors and limitations of models’ results. This study examines the ability of ENVI-met model to simulate thermal conditions in high spatial resolution. Field measurements from 11 central sites (squares and parks) across the greater area of Athens,...Read more

Artificial Neural Network (ANNs) for predicting petroleum hydrocarbons from heavy metals contaminated soils around fuel stations

(Corresponding) Bonelli M., Manni A., Saviano G.

Topic:

Environmental data analysis and modelling

Petrol stations are classified as a dangerous source of pollution for the human population due to the toxicity of emissions from evaporated vehicle fuels and fuel spillages. The contaminants released in the environment are mainly complex mixtures of petroleum hydrocarbon compounds (PHCs) and heavy...Read more
