Obuda University is actively involved in international research supporting urban climate adaptation and has recently reached another important milestone as part of the GreenQual project. The university’s experts participated in a two-day workshop and a two-day measurement campaign in Osaka.
During the program, microclimate measurements were carried out at three different urban locations, with a focus on air quality and light conditions. These valuable datasets are essential for gaining a deeper understanding of how urban environments function and provide a strong foundation for future innovative modelling efforts.
The collected data form a key pillar of the GreenQual project, enabling the development of models capable of predicting and evaluating the impact of urban green spaces on mitigating summer overheating. The long-term goal of the research is to deliver scientifically grounded, data-driven solutions that support urban climate adaptation.
The project is led by Dr. habil. Viktória Sugár, Vice-Rector for Sustainability and Strategic Development at Obuda University. Researchers from the Ybl Miklós Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering are contributing to the work, including Prof. Dr. István Kistelegdi, Dr. habil. Zsuzsanna Fáczányi, Dr. Attila Kerekes, Marcell Nánási, Péter Kiss, and Martin Kolman.
This international collaboration is a strong example of how scientific research, innovation, and sustainability come together to create real impact in making urban environments more livable.
