Urban climate investigations have to give the information or be a tool for urban planners. Plenty of information and results of urban climate studies are not available or not special prepared for use in urban planning.
Here we want to present the urban climate investigation taken place in the last four years in the city of Freiburg, in the Southwest of Germany.
We are giving three examples of urban planning relevant micro scale urban climate investigations.
· Assessment of different urban structures in the city centre of Freiburg. Here we present the methods of measuring and calculating parameter by using human-biometeorological assessment models.
· Measurement of several kind of temperatures of surfaces and air in a very short horizontal distance less than 100 m for the explanation that it is not possible to use the surface temperatures to get the air temperature for different land use type or urban structures.
· People spend more than 80 % of the time of the day in closed spaces. The knowledge of the interaction between the outdoor and indoor conditions is an important case for the description of the human-biometeorological assessment for the time and space variability of humans in urban areas.
