Abstract

Both winter and summer "the buildings heat the street". In the typical design procedures the mutual interrelations between the buildings and the environment are neglected, the environment is supposed to be a sink of unlimited capacity. Nevertheless, the heat output of the buildings - a component of the anthropogenic heat load - has considerable effect on the urban microclimate. Mechanical cooling (air conditioning) launches a harmful self-generating process. Adequate urban design facilitates the slowing down or cease of this process and at the same time provides acceptable summer thermal comfort conditions. Dispensable mechanical cooling promotes mitigation. The effect appears on both urban and global scale.
