| Description: |
- Urban physics is the
science and engineering of physical processes in urban
areas. It basically refers to the transfer of heat and
mass in the outdoor and indoor urban environment, and its
interaction with humans, fauna, flora and materials.
Urban
physics is a rapidly increasing focus area as it is key
to
understanding and addressing the grand societal
challenges
– energy, climate and health. In urban areas, these
challenges are strongly inter-related and can be
amplified. Therefore, urban physics will play an
increasingly important role in the development of future
smart cities.
- The Urban Physics Autumn
School 2017 (UPAS2017) provides innovative and in-depth
lectures from top researchers from across the world
covering highly actual topics from urban wind energy over
urban microclimate to building and district energy
simulations with particular links to the development of
future smart cities.
- UPAS2017 is organized by
the Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands)
in a collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology in Zurich and the University of Cyprus. It
follows the previous successful Urban Physics Schools
organized in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016.
- UPAS2017 is organized in
the spirit of the European COST Action TU1304 “Wind
energy technology reconsideration to enhance the concept
of smart cities (WINERCOST)” chaired by Prof.
Charalampos Baniotopoulos and Prof. Claudio Borri (www.winercost.com). Dr.
Hassan Hemida, the Chair of the WINERCOST WG1 will
provide
the lectures on Wind Energy at UPAS2017, and Prof. Bert
Blocken, the Co-Chair of the WINERCOST WG1, is the lead
organizer of UPAS2017.
