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

Urban Heat Island mitigation scenarios by Blue-Green Infrastructures modelling
La Cecilia D., Malvolti G., (Corresponding) Despini F., Teggi S., Bigi A., Bach P.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The integrated planning of cities landscape and blue-green infrastructures (BGI) is an approach poised to play an increasingly positive role in climate change adaptation for the human population. Cities worldwide are rapidly expanding to accommodate the increasing urbanization. Phenomena including...Read more
