• Behavioural Perspectives of Outdoor Thermal Comfort in Urban Areas: A Critical Review (2019, background): “Since these thermal indices were initially established for indoor places, their legitimacy under open-air conditions has been progressively questioned [53,62,85,111].”
• A comprehensive review of thermal comfort studies in urban open spaces. (2020, background): “Several studies (Lai et al., 2014a; Nikolopoulou et al., 2001; Thorsson et al., 2007) have demonstrated that PMV overestimates the thermal sensation when directly applied to outdoor spaces.”
• Pedestrian Wind Environment around Buildings: Literature Review and Practical Examples (2004, background): “On the other hand, a considerable amount of research on outdoor thermal comfort has been performed recently [92–101].”
• The influence of perceived aesthetic and acoustic quality on outdoor thermal comfort in urban environment (2021, background): “These microclimatic conditions are determined by urban geometry and urban greenery [2,17,31,32].”
