14 measurements. Assessing response capability and fine-tuning risk assessments to reduce uncertainty are critical for evaluating heat stress. Indoor risks were addressed, considering air conditioning and natural ventilation as viable means to alleviate overheating. Prof. Chao also showcased a micro-climate digital platform that focused on helping the public and researchers assess urban morphology impacts. The presentation additionally explored layering different data streams, the impact of air conditioner condensers' placement, nighttime air temperatures, district systems, and the impact of urban morphology. Discussion The discussion focused on integrating diverse data types to create more representative results, considering the significant impact of building arrangements on urban temperatures. Nighttime air temperatures and district systems were emphasized as crucial to be considered when formulating solutions. The placement of building condensers (rooftop vs façade) was also discussed and was estimated to have a margin of 1°C difference. Effective urban morphology was also discussed, emphasizing the need for planners and designers to understand such impacts.
