Parametric optimization of urban residential morphology for outdoor thermal comfort with integrated code regulatory and site development requirement

Key Points

• Outdoor thermal comfort is enhanced through parametric optimization of residential morphology, addressing regulatory codes.
• The study demonstrates a significant improvement in thermal comfort metrics using tailored urban designs.
• Assessment using parametric optimization methods integrates code regulations and site development requirements for urban areas.
• This approach may enable better design practices that support thermal comfort, but further studies are needed for broader applications.
