Boosting solar accessibility and potential of urban districts in the Nordic climate: A case study in Trondheim
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The harvesting of solar energy still encounters many barriers in Scandinavia. This paper proposes a set of solar urban planning recommendations to enhance the solar accessibility and potential and thereby increase the ... -
Development and validation of a Monte Carlo-based numerical model for solar analyses in urban canyon configurations
(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
(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
(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 ...
