Abstract

Professors Ko-Chiu Wu, Chih-Hong Huang and Hsiao-Tung Chang from the National Taipei University of Technology and Chinese Culture University are combining dynamic city sensors to build a 3D thermal environment cloud information system for smart cities. They seek to uncover new information about urban heat island (UHI) by describing the dynamic phenomena underway. The ultimate aim of this study is to survey the thermal environment data in the horizontal and vertical interspace of urban areas. The data and insight the team gathers will be extremely useful to policy makers and city planners, as well as designing urban spaces with the comfort of citizens in mind, it is hoped they will be able to mitigate the effects of UHI and even make energy savings using the 3D maps.
