Assessment of Concrete Footpath Upheavals in Heatwaves
(Corresponding) Bradford M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Most concrete footpaths are cast without steel reinforcement and in segments between bituminous joints, with the joints intended to accommodate thermal expansions (and contractions) of the pavement. However, a combination of prolonged heatwave conditions and the ingress over time of material into...Read more
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

Indoor and outdoor environment impact over the generic conditions for thermal bridge appearance
(Corresponding) Ivanov M., Mijorski S.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
The presented study considers the numerical modelling of a thermal bridge distribution, based on conjugated heat transfer and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model of approximated external concrete wall. The thermal bridge distribution is cross-analyzed relative to the indoor and outdoor air...Read more

Thermal bridge modelling, based on conjugated heat transfer and CFD methods
Mijorski S., (Corresponding) Ivanov M.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In the building structure, the “thermal bridge” is defined as an isolated zone, where construction elements have higher thermal conductivity, compared with the rest of the building envelope. Thus, a significant temperature difference may exist between adjacent solid and air volumes within the...Read more

Heat of adsorption in the fly ash zeolite – CO2 system at dynamic conditions
Zgureva D., (Corresponding) Boycheva S., Marinov I., Miteva S., Asenov A.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The global warming represents one of the main world problems in the recent decades as it is considered that electricity production by coal burning is responsible for 40 % of the total CO2 emissions. The post-combustion capture of CO2 based on physical adsorption has the highest potential for...Read more

PHOTOSYNTHETIC RESPONSE OF SPRING OILSEED RAPE TO HEAT, DROUGHT, NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY AND COMBINED STRESS
(Corresponding) Dikšaitytė A., Viršilė A., Januškaitienė I., Žaltauskaitė J.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
This study was aimed to determine the photosynthetic response of spring oilseed rape to heatwave (HW), drought, nutrient deficiency (N-D) and combined stress. HW and drought acted in a different manner. Under both adequate and deprived soil nutrient conditions, in the presence of adequate water...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

Techno-economic assessment of a high temperature thermal storage integration into a sludge drying process in combination with PV electricity
(Corresponding) Vlachokostas C., Papadopoulos A., Makris D., Alexopoulos S., Schruefer J., Hoegemann D.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
During the ongoing transition towards cleaner energy production to tackle climate change, it is important to identify economically viable solutions. While Renewable Energy Sources (RES) offer clean energy, they cannot consistently meet energy demand. Therefore, energy storage technologies are...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
