An article on “Spatiotemporal patterns of the impact of surface roughness and morphology on urban heat island” was published on “Sustainable Cities and Society”

Highlights of the article:

  • We quantify the correlation between urban morphology and heat island.
  • 1D surface roughness emerges as a good indicator of urban morphology.
  • Urban planning needs to consider potential nonlinearity in the correlation.

The study was a

Grading of a design plan

This webpage is to provide technical support for the FAU CEGE Senior Design Class.

It is suggested to use Civil3D to do the grading, since most of the design is done in CAD.

Read carefully the weblinks below:
