Engineering Urban Thermal Refugia: A Practitioner's Framework for Microclimate Mitigation
{ "title": "Engineering Urban Thermal Refugia: A Practitioner's Framework for Microclimate Mitigation", "excerpt": "This comprehensive guide, based on my 15 years of hands-on experience in urban climate adaptation, provides a practitioner's framework for engineering thermal refugia in cities. I'll share specific case studies from projects I've led, including a 2023 retrofit in Phoenix that reduced surface temperatures by 12°C and a 2024 community park redesign in Miami that increased thermal com
