We are pleased to report that two students from the Ybl Miklós Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Óbuda University, Marcell Nánási and Martin Kolman, successfully represented our institution at the 3rd Ybl Conference on the Built Environment, where they presented the results achieved within the framework of the international GreenQual research project.
In his conference presentation, Marcell Nánási examined the applicability of passive ventilation systems in urban contexts, focusing on public spaces in Budapest. He demonstrated how solutions based on natural airflow and temperature differences can be utilized to mitigate the urban heat island (UHI) effect. The aim of the research is to lay the groundwork for applying passive ventilation in urban public spaces and to prepare future simulations based on on-site data.
Martin Kolman’s poster also presented work carried out within the GreenQual project, investigating the microclimatic characteristics of urban environments through field measurements. His poster vividly illustrated the research methods, preliminary findings, and their relevance to the goals of sustainable urban development.
We congratulate our students on their dedicated work and their contribution to advancing urban climate adaptation and environmentally friendly architectural solutions!
