Abstract

Urban microclimate is defined by the phenomenon of thermal heat island, which is dependent on specific conditions in cities. In Mediterranean cities, temperatures in summer tend to rise beyond the levels of thermal comfort. Athens is a city with dense urban fabric where summer temperatures are way beyond thermal comfort. Studies have shown that air velocities inside the urban fabric are significantly lower than those recorded over or outside the city. This shows that the inside of the city is not affected enough by the wind in order to profit from its convective cooling effect. The aim of this paper is to propose ways to help the air, which is flowing over the buildings of the city move inside the urban fabric and, even in conditions of still air, create air movement. To this purpose, passive down draught evaporative cooling towers and solar chimneys are introduced in the city fabric. This implementation is investigated schematically by introducing new elements such as solar chimneys on the facades of buildings, free-standing evaporative cooling towers in appropriate city spaces and interior courtyards in urban blocks, and by reusing existing light shafts in apartment blocks.
