heal.abstract	This paper is an attempt to combine experimental data of materials' surface temperatures recorded by the author during the summer of 2004, with the geometry of the city. The objective of the study is to point out the cases of urban geometric configurations, where the materials that form the horizontal and vertical surfaces are bound to overheat due to increased insolation and lack of shading. These cases are identified through a parametric study that is performed with the Ecotect software. The experimental measurements are used in order to provide data concerning the hours of insolation, as well as the period of the day when the maximum surface temperatures of the materials occur, in conditions of unobstructed solar access. The combination of all the collected data in a series of diagrams leads to the identification of a number of so-called ""worst-case scenario"" urban configurations, where it is assumed that the surface temperatures of the materials reach their maximum values, and for this reason corrective measures should be implemented.	en
