Within the framework of the EU-UHI Project, an industrial area inside the municipality of Modena was selected as a pilot-area for the Emilia-Romagna Region. In this paper we present some results obtained with RayMan, a model which estimates bioclimatic discomfort based on the human radiative budget. Some simulations of the impact of mitigation measures have been carried out, taking into account the insertion of greenery and building modifications. Both intra-diurnal and whole day effects have been compared.}, type={Text}, title={Impact of mitigation measures on the Urban Heat Island phenomenon in the city of Modena, Italy}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/50352/PDF/WA51_68488_r2014-t87-z4_G-Polonica-Marchesi.pdf}, keywords={thermal discomfort, bioclimatic indices, urban planning, mitigation strategies}, }
