A collaborative study conducted by the University of Seville and the University of Bari has identified specific urban interventions capable of extending thermal comfort within residential buildings by more than three hours. The research focuses on the implementation of strategic shading, the use of light-colored paving materials, and the integration of trees into urban environments.
These findings highlight the effectiveness of passive cooling strategies in mitigating indoor heat. By modifying elements such as street design, roof surfaces, and garden layouts, urban areas can significantly improve living conditions and reduce the thermal impact of rising temperatures on interior spaces.
