The effect of urban layout, street geometry and orientation on shading conditions in urban canyons in the Mediterranean

Renewable Energy, 2014, vol. 63, issue C, 587-596

Abstract: The paper presents the results of shading analysis which was carried out as part of a wider comparative analysis of two sites with different characteristics in terms of street geometry and urban density. The first experiment site was a traditional settlement in the island of Tinos, Greece, and the second was a relatively newly built part of the capital city of the island. Also a parametric shading analysis was carried out in order to examine a number of parameters that influence shading conditions in urban canyons.
