Serious games for energy applications in the built environment: A systematic review
Energy use in buildings is a major global challenge because it depends not only on technologies, but also on how people understand, operate, and respond to building systems. Serious games and gamified applications have been used to improve energy literacy, encourage energy-saving behavior, and support energy-related decision-making. However, evidence remains fragmented across building contexts, user groups, technologies, design approaches, and ev…
WRF-based hybrid model for high-resolution prediction of urban thermal-wind environments under present and future climate scenarios
Advances in urban mapping of local climate zones for heat mitigation: A systematic review
Are grand tree planting initiatives meeting expectations in mitigating urban overheating during heat waves
Numerous cities undertakes substantial tree planting initiatives for heatwave mitigation, driven by model predictions indicating a positive mitigation impact. However, emerging studies suggest that the transpiration behavior of trees during heatwaves significantly deviates from normal. This divergence, overlooked in current climate models, introduces the possibility of inaccuracies in predicting transpiration cooling during heatwaves. In this res…
Are cities taking action against urban overheating? Insights from over 7,500 local climate actions
Mitigating urban overheating is vital to create livable urban futures. Research on urban heat mitigation is plentiful, while knowledge about the actual measures local governments are implementing is limited. This study examines 7,500+ heat mitigation actions by 2,500+ cities under two flagship programs of the European Commission. The analysis reveals that cities’ strategies pivot around green- and water-based technologies (66% of the actions) whi…
Thermal Adaptations in Indian Houses: Insights from the Diverse Climates of Tiruchirapalli
This study investigates how the residents in Tiruchirapalli, India adapt to extreme summer temperatures within residential buildings, focusing on the hottest hours of the day. The research aims to understand adaptive behaviors to reduce dependence on mechanical heating and cooling systems, emphasizing the importance of innovative building designs
On the mitigation potential of higher urban albedo in a temperate oceanic metropolis
On the cooling potential of urban heating mitigation technologies in a coastal temperate city
Influences of wind speed, sky conditions, land use and land cover characteristics on the magnitude of the urban heat island in Seoul: An exploratory analysis
Recent progress on urban overheating and heat island research. Integrated assessment of the energy, environmental, vulnerability and health impact. Synergies with the global climate change
Cool roofs and cool pavements application in Acharnes, Greece
Increasing Probability of Heat-Related Mortality in a Mediterranean City Due to Urban Warming
Extreme temperatures impose thermal stress on human health, resulting in increased hospitalizations and mortality rate. We investigated the circulatory and respiratory causes of death for the years 2007 to 2014 inclusive for the urban and rural areas of Nicosia, Cyprus under urban heatwave and non-heatwave conditions. Heatwaves were defined as four or more consecutive days with mean urban daily temperature over the 90th percentile threshold tempe…
