Le facteur de vue du ciel est un nombre sans dimension allant de 0 à 1, représentant la quantité de ciel dégagé vu d'un point donné. Une valeur faible du facteur de vue du ciel indique une plus grande obstruction du ciel par des éléments urbains comme des bâtiments et des arbres, ce qui limite l'entrée de rayonnement solaire et favorise la rétention de rayonnement de grandes longueurs d'onde émises par les surfaces urbaines. 3, record 1, French, - facteur%20de%20vue%20du%20ciel
