An inverse approach to identify selective angular properties of retro-reflective materials for urban heat island mitigation
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 ... -
Parametric design to minimize the embodied GHG emissions in a ZEB
Lobaccaro, Gabriele; Houlihan Wiberg, Aoife Anne Marie; Ceci, Giulia; Manni, Mattia; Lolli, Nicola; Berardi, Umberto (Journal article, 2018)This work aims to apply parametric design to minimize the embodied greenhouse gas emissions and op- erational energy in a zero emission building in Oslo, Norway. An original generative workflow based on parametric design ... -
Solar energy digitalization at high latitudes: A model chain combining solar irradiation models, a LiDAR scanner, and high-detail 3D building model
Manni, Mattia; Nocente, Alessandro; Kong, Gefei; Skeie, Kristian Stenerud; Fan, Hongchao; Lobaccaro, Gabriele (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Solar mapping can contribute to exploiting more efficiently the solar energy potential in cities. Solar maps and 3D solar cadasters consist of visualization tools for solar irradiation analysis on urban surfaces (i.e., ... -
Towards the development of legislative framework for solar neighborhoods
Hachem Vermette, Caroline; Yadav, Somil; Brozovsky, Johannes Georg; Croce, Silvia; Desthieux, Gilles; Formolli, Matteo; Singh Grewal, Kuljeet; Kanters, Jouri; Lobaccaro, Gabriele; Manni, Mattia; Wall, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The growing implementation of sustainable urban infrastructure, utilizing solar energy for heat and power generation, daylighting, and thermal comfort, has intensified the focus on sustainability standards and guidelines. ...
