Microclimates and the city : towards an architectural theory of thermal diversity

Roesler, Sascha ; Kobi, Madlen

In: The urban microclimate as artifact : towards an architectural theory of thermal diversity, 2018, p. 12-24

The term “microclimate” was coined by German and British meteorologists and geographers in the first half of the 20th century. Rudolf Geiger and Albert Kratzer realized that the climate in the air layer “two meters above the ground” differs considerably between rural and urban sites. W.G.V. Balchin and Norman Pye proved that the urban climate within one city, Bath, was not homogenous,...

Comparison of conventional and individualized 1-MET values for expressing maximum aerobic metabolic rate and habitual activity related energy expenditure

Heydenreich, Juliane ; Schutz, Yves ; Melzer, Katarina ; Kayser, Bengt

In: Nutrients, 2019, vol. 11, no. 2, p. 458

The maximum aerobic metabolic rate can be expressed in multiple metabolically equivalent tasks (MET), i.e., METmax. The purpose was to quantify the error when the conventional (3.5 mL∙kg−1∙min−1) compared to an individualized 1-MET-value is used for calculating METmax and estimating activity energy expenditure (AEE) in endurance-trained athletes (END) and active healthy controls...
