The Impact of Façade Orientation and Woody Vegetation on Summertime Heat Stress Patterns in a Central European Square: Comparison of Radiation Measurements and Simulations

Figure 8

Deviation of the modeled values from the measurement-based at the five points during the survey period (SS: sunset, SR: sunrise; note: data are calculated from 15-minute averages). Horizontal bars at the bottom of each graph indicate when the measurement point became shaded or exposed to the sun as follows: (i) yellow and orange colors mark shorter and longer periods of solar exposure, respectively; (ii) light green indicates period of shade from trees; (iii) dark green suggests shade from buildings; (iv) dark gray signals nighttime with no short-wave radiation. SS and SR marks indicate times of sunset and sunrise, respectively.
