Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study introduces a novel system within a Building Information Modeling (BIM) environment to rapidly evaluate Outdoor Thermal Comfort (OTC). Traditionally, direct microclimate analysis in the design phase is hindered by cumbersome and resource-intensive processes. By utilizing information from BIM and integrating the COMFA thermal energy budget model, this approach facilitates immediate OTC evaluation. The system automates the Sky View Factor simulation using 3D modeling techniques and utilizes BIM model data to assess the thermal environment. Tested on a university campus, it effectively processes geospatial BIM data to compute microclimate parameters and estimate OTC using COMFA. This research represents a significant advancement in BIM-integrated OTC analysis, streamlining the design feedback process and aiding practitioners in improving outdoor thermal environments amidst climate change challenges.
