For instance, the use of air cooling can increase up to 1 or 2☌ the outdoor air temperatures (Munck et al. domestic heating, air-conditioning) and heat waste impacts the Urban Heat Island. Both aspects are coupled as building energy consumption is highly meteorologically dependent (e.g. The primary objective of this project is to obtain climate and energy quantitative data from numerical simulations, focusing on urban microclimate and building energy consumption in the residential and service sectors, which represents in France 41% of the final energy consumption. This approach has been funded by the French National Agency for Research, in a project named MAPuCE. , 2014 ) change have shown that human behavior is a very potent level to address energy consumption reduction, much more than urban forms or architectural technologies.
DEFINE TESSELLATION WINDOWS
We agree that this could hence enhance a lot the understanding of Urban Heat Islands phenomenon, but we are also convinced that LCZ should include somehow the knowledge about citizens behavior in their in-doors: do they open windows during winter? Do they use intensively air conditioners? In fact, previous projects on adaptation of cities to climate ( Masson et al. To address this, they propose to use Local Climate Zone (LCZ) as geographical objects allowing a finest description of landscape, whatever its nature, urban or rural. Introduction (Stewart and Oke, 2009) have acknowledged the need for a more accurate knowledge of ground description at micro-scale levels in order to improve consistency and accuracy in urban climate reporting.
