Why is it important?
The method can be a valid tool to support the decisional process about heat waves mitigation in the roadmap towards a more responsive built environment.
Perspectives
Finally, this study can be implemented with researches on further quantitative and qualitative indicators for reliability, adaptability and mitigation ability of buildings and urban area not only to face heat waves but also other extreme events induced by climate change, towards the wider idea of resilience.
