In the Mediterranean area the solar heat gain in buildings needs to be controlled during the warm seasons in order to keep the internal temperature at comfortable levels and to mitigate the phenomenon of urban warming, known as Urban Heat Island. This phenomenon contributes to increase the outdoor pollutants concentration and the energy demand for air conditioning. Indoor microclimate condition…
