Project

Description

I lead this project to develop a simplified greenery integrated physics-based ‘ground-Surface Temperature Algorithm (g-STAr)’ to increase the accuracy of parametric outdoor thermal comfort prediction models.

​

g-STAr was developed with PhD advisor J. Alstan Jakubiec.

PhD research, granted by SINGA-SUTD.
