جزایر گرمایی شهری: اثر بالقوه تنظیمات شهری آلی و ساخت یافته بر تغییرات دمایی در دبی، امارات متحده عربی

Assessment of the results showed that the organic configuration recorded lower temperatures in summer than both the structured configurations. The Orthogonal structured configuration did not behave as an intermediate configuration between the organic and highly structured grid configurations. The Volume Ortho configuration, though recorded the highest wind speeds, did not result in lower temperature values. It was shown that different configurations manipulated the behavior of the wind within the configuration. The sky-view factor and standard deviation were plausible explanations in the absence of obvious trends in some cases, and showed how urban configurations impacted temperature variations. It was concluded that, given this specific site location and the alignment of prevailing winds parallel to the roads, the organic configuration showed the better thermal performance amongst the three configurations.
