Cozie: Assessing Individual Thermal Comfort in Urban Environments

Cities are hot during daytime in summer time - much hotter than their surrounding vegetated, often forested rural areas. This effect, the Urban Heat Island Effect, is determined by building materials, human activity, and urban vegetation. But how does it affect individual thermal comfort? We are interested in understanding relationships between temperature and thermal comfort in urban areas.
