Dynamic heat map as a part of the regional energy transition
Wern B., (Corresponding) Noll F., (Corresponding) Baur F.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Heat maps show the heat and cold demand of residential, commercial and industrial buildings as well as the waste heat from industry. They combine these two aspects in order to plan new heating/cooling grids. By planning the thermal energy supply in a central way, the efficiency of the energy...Read more

Integrating Urban Heat Island Mitigation into Green Building Rating Systems
(Corresponding) Almashhour R., Kolo J., Beheiry S.
Topic:
Climate change adaptation
Amidst the climate crisis, cities remain the foremost cause and victims of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. UHI is the higher temperature observed in a city compared to nearby rural environments. The built environment, in particular buildings, are known to be highly responsible for heating up or...Read more

The building façade as an active skin: Water bio-remediation through a probiotic layer system
Almpani-Lekka D., (Corresponding) Zavoleas Y.
Topic:
Sustainable water resources management with nature-based solutions
In 2020, the United Nations demonstrated that the building sector is responsible for 38% of all energy-related CO2 emissions [1]. Architecture as an invasive practice, bears a responsibility and the capacity to minimize its negative ecological impact. This study investigates alternative...Read more
