城市热岛效应（UHI）是城市化的一个众所周知的效应，在世界特大城市中尤为重要。由于城市的进一步增长和气候变化，预计这些城市的过热情况今后将加剧。使用现有的软件工具，目前很难证明和量化个别设计干预对城市热岛的影响。在LUCID（“开发当地城市气候模型及其在城市智能设计中的应用”）研究项目中开发的工具将使相关影响得到更好的理解，量化和解决。这篇文章总结了相关文献，并报告了该项目正在进行的工作。实际应用：建筑形式、城市进程、当地温度、舒适度、能源使用和健康之间存在复杂的关系。城市热岛效应是一个重要的问题，人们越来越认识到这一点。开发商和规划师正在寻求基于科学可靠的定量方法的各种规模的设计决策建议。因此，LUCID项目开发了一系列工具，（1）量化城市化进程对当地环境条件的影响，（2）量化这些条件对舒适度，能源使用和健康的影响。这些工具的使用至关重要，既可为政策提供信息，也可证明政策得到遵守。
The urban heat island (UHI) is a well-known effect of urbanisation and is particularly important in world megacities. Overheating in such cities is expected to be exacerbated in the future as a result of further urban growth and climate change. Demonstrating and quantifying the impact of individual design interventions on the UHI is currently difficult using available software tools. The tools developed in the LUCID ('The Development of a Local Urban Climate Model and its Application to the Intelligent Design of Cities') research project will enable the related impacts to be better understood, quantified and addressed. This article summarises the relevant literature and reports on the ongoing work of the project.Practical applications: There is a complex relationship between built form, urban processes, local temperature, comfort, energy use and health. The UHI effect is significant and there is a growing recognition of this issue. Developers and planners are seeking advice on design decisions at a variety of scales based on scientifically robust, quantitative methods. The LUCID project has thus developed a series of tools that (1) quantify the effect of urbanisation processes on local environmental conditions, and (2) quantify the impact of such conditions on comfort, energy use and health. The use of such tools is vital, both to inform policy but also to be able to demonstrate compliance with it.
