Impact of urban heat island on energy demand in buildings: Local climate zones in NanjingUrban heat islandLocal climate zoneLong-term observationBuilding energy demandClimatic dataThis study aims to assess the impact of neighborhood-scale urban heat island (UHI) on the energy performance of buildings...
The biggest challenge of the 21st century is to satisfy the escalating demand of energy and minimize the globally changing climate impact. Earth to air heat exchanger (EAHE) system can effectively reduce heating affects on buildings. An experimental study was carried out by designing EAHE system ...
In the context of escalating global energy demands, urban areas, specifically the building sector, contribute to the largest energy consumption, with urban overheating exacerbating this issue. Utilizing urban modelling for heat-mitigation and reduction of energy demand is crucial steps towards a sustainab...
The urban heat island effect is a phenomenon in which urban areas experience higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas due to the concentration of buildings, pavement, and other heat-absorbing materials. This exacerbates the effects of summer heatwaves, making cities even hotter and more uncomf...
In mid- and low-latitude cities, heat islands contribute to urban dwellers summer discomfort and significantly higher air-conditioning loads. This chapter summarizes and reviews the latest research methodologies and findings about the effect of increased temperatures on the energy consumption of buildings...
In this blog, the environmental and economic impacts of insulating gases and their influence on energy savings in buildings will be explored. Source:Sparklike In the first part of the series, we talked aThe Role of Insulating Gases in Energy Efficiencyand shared some academic studies related...
we found 1.8 mm/yr of differential settlement in dams contributed to their failure, and flooding damaged ~8570 buildings. We argue that the interplay of aging infrastructure, political instability, climate change, and human decisions drove this disaster, stressing the need for a holistic ‘health...
It is found that high-rise buildings over relatively small areas may have just as much impact as somewhat lower buildings covering a much larger area. The urban area produces considerable spatial variation in surface sensible heat flux. Data from a C-band radar located to the north of Greater...
