"Current Topics in Building Performance - On the expanding horizon of building physics";
Talk: Current Topics in Building Performance WinterTerm 2017/2018, Wien, TU Wien, Freihaus, Sem.R. DA grün 05; 2017-10-13 - 2018-01-19.

(Lecture in english language):
- Building physics core - Building Automation, Urban climate, Building users
- Global climate change
- Global climate change + urban climate
- Why should be expecially worry about the urban climate?
- The urban heat island phenomenon
- The UHI Project (2011 - 2014)
- Indicator: Urban Heat Island Index
- Urban Heat Island Intensity
- Mean hourly UHI distribution (rd‐s/7)
- Beyond UHI‐Index: The variance of the urban micro‐climate
- Small‐scale temperature variance: Vienna case study
- A tale of two streets
- Why should we care?
- What can we do?
- How to predict the effectiveness of mitigation?
- But can we trust our models? The importance of model calibration
- Model calibration results
- Advanced computational models
- Urban intervention scenarios
- Calibrated model in action
- The road ahead: What about a shortcut?
- Variables of an Urban Unit of Observation - Sky View Factor
- Variables of an Urban Unit of Observation - Aspect Ratio of the Urban Canyon
- Variables of an Urban Unit of Observation - Building Compactness
