Effects of Urban Layout, Façade Orientation, and Façade Height on Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) Availability in a Dense Residential Area: A Dynamic Analysis in Shanghai

Effects of Urban Layout, Façade Orientation, and Façade Height on Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) Availability in a Dense Residential Area: A Dynamic Analysis in Shanghai

Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) is critical for sustaining plant growth in the ground and on building surfaces, but how to accurately predict PAR availability in a complex urban environment can be a challenge. Using an advanced ray-tracing software (Radiance 4.0) and local weather data, th...
