²Reflectance coefficient = 0.40 (stone)

³The figures were obtained by considering the overall increase up to the mid of the wynd, or by considering the increase at the points that are directly located in front of the target building only (the mean divided by 7).

⁴Cloudiness (or Clouding rate) is often indicated as an index between 0 and 1 (or 0 and 8, or 0 and 10) representing the fraction of the sky that is covered by the cloud (Baker and Steemers). In conducting this work, the later scale between (0 and 10) was employed in the simulation tool.
