.... In this study, we evaluated 29 years (1990–2019) of historical data on heat stress in ten selected megacities (existing and prospective)—New Delhi, Dhaka, Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chittagong, and Pune—in India and Bangladesh. We used heat index (HI) and environmental stress...

Subsequently, we consider successful real-world cases from various companies and controlled laboratory environments using 3D printing based on the printing method, materials used, and challenges faced...

... landscapes in question; however, the main challenges of modeling urban thermal environments are the scale and resolution at which to perform such tasks. Current modeling of urban thermal environments is typically limited to either mesoscale (1 –2000 km) or microscale (<1 km) phenomena. In the present work...
