Abstract

In this research we try to highlight the most influential typo-morphological indicators on outdoor thermal comfort in a subtropical Mediterranean climate during the summer. We rely on a comparative analysis of three different fabrics in Tunis, Tunisia, to evaluate the degree of outdoor thermal comfort. Then, we carry out numerical simulations of the urban microclimate in order to identify which indicators are the most influential, with the aim of helping a sustainable urban design.
