Andre Santos Nouri is an Architect and Urban Designer who specialises in the sustainable examination and improvement of urban human biometeorological conditions within warming cities in an era of climate change. His research focuses upon the pursuit of improving and maturing human thermophysiological conditions through interdisciplinary bottom-up assessment methodologies and adaptation approaches to improve the thermal resilience and adaptability of the urban fabric. After working in the UK within the private and public sector, he obtained his PhD in Urbanism, at the Faculty of Architecture within the University of Lisbon – Portugal (FAUL), and has since taught at different intuitions in different countries. He publishes his research in different international journals, conferences, and is a visiting lecturer and invited speaker within numerous annual events and schools. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design (IAED), within the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA) at Bilkent University, Ankara – Turkey. In addition, he is the coordinator of a co-circulation project attributed from the national Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) with the collaborative participation of institutions in Germany, Taiwan, Greece, and Romania.

Abstract

Abstract Body

The disclosed study focuses upon a ‘human centred-approach’ to evaluate thermophysiological risk factors associated to urban climatic conditions within the case of Ankara, Turkey. In an era where climate change is already aggravating urban thermal comfort levels, the frequency and durability of Extreme Heat Events (EHEs) are also presenting clear impacts upon urban heat-related mortality and morbidity rates. For this reason, and associated to an on-going national project funded by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), the study shall present its on-going results that address human thermophysiological thresholds in Ankara within indoor and outdoor settings. The ensuing outcomes are a result of a combination of both singular variables, and Energy Balance Model indices that moreover consider wholesome bottom-up implications upon the human biometeorological system. Such conclusions thus far point towards specific risk factors intrinsic to Ankara’s versatile climate, both within selected characteristic vulnerable indoor settings, and their more encompassing urban outdoor microclimatic conditions.
