Manni, Mattia; Lobaccaro, Gabriele; Goia, Francesco; Nicolini, Andrea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This work presents the preliminary stages of a wider study aiming at assessing the potentials of retro-reflective (RR) materials to mitigate urban heat island effects. Th study herewith reported is based on an inverse ... -
Development and validation of a Monte Carlo-based numerical model for solar analyses in urban canyon configurations
Manni, Mattia; Bonamente, Emanuele; Lobaccaro, Gabriele; Goia, Francesco; Nicolini, Andrea; Emmanuel, Bozonnet; Rossi, Federico (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Highly- and retro-reflective materials have recently been investigated and proposed as a new urban coating solution to reduce the so-called urban heat island effect. The present study aims at providing a numerical model ... -
Effects of retro-reflective and angular-selective retro-reflective materials on solar energy in urban canyons
Lobaccaro, Gabriele; Goia, Francesco; Manni, Mattia; Nicolini, Andrea; Rossi, Federico; cardinali, marta (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The study deals with the application of retro-reflective (RR) and angular-selective retro-reflective (AS-RR) coatings on surfaces (i.e. the street ground and the south-exposed façade) within the urban canyon. Solar analyses ... -
Exploiting selective angular properties of retro-reflective coatings to mitigate solar irradiation within the urban canyon
Manni, Mattia; Lobaccaro, Gabriele; Goia, Francesco; Nicolini, Andrea; Rossi, Federico (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The combination of urban sprawl and densification in built areas increases the number of interbuilding solar reflections. This contributes to over warming in urban environments – a phenomenon known as the urban heat island ... -
Horizontal-to-tilt irradiance conversion for high-latitude regions: a review and meta-analysis
Manni, Mattia; Thorning, Jacob Krum; Jouttijärvi, Sami; Miettunen, Kati; Sabatino, Marisa Di; Lobaccaro, Gabriele (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This review focuses on the solar irradiance model chain for horizontal-to-tilted irradiance conversion at high latitudes.

The Influence of Icephobic Nanomaterial Coatings on Solar Cell Panels at High Latitudes
Manni, Mattia; Failla, Maria Chiara; Nocente, Alessandro; Lobaccaro, Gabriele; Jelle, Bjørn Petter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Solar energy’s penetration at high latitudes has been boosted during recent years, but snow deposits during the winter still limit its exploitation. Therefore, various solutions for snow removal, such as icephobic coatings, ... -
Multi‐Stage Validation of a Solar Irradiance Model Chain: An Application at High Latitudes
Manni, Mattia; Nocente, Alessandro; Bellmann, Martin Pawel; Lobaccaro, Gabriele (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Evaluating how the sources of uncertainty in solar modelling (e.g., input parameters, developed model chain) can influence the results’ accuracy is one of the main challenges when applied at high latitudes. In this study, ... -
