Mapping urban renewal priorities for aging residential districts
Aging residential buildings pose growing challenges to sustainable urban development, especially in compact cities where redevelopment is constrained by complex land assembly, planning restrictions, and limited private-sector incentives. While prior studies have examined urban renewal factors, few offer spatially detailed, multi-dimensional frameworks suited to high-density, low-feasibility settings. In particular, the integration of objectively …
Assessing the impact of landscape context on soundscape quality in multifunctional urban open spaces
This study demonstrates the critical role of landscape contextual factors in shaping the acoustic environment and investigates their influences on soundscape quality of microscale functional open spaces in densely populated cities. Specifically, this study aims to reveal the impacts of microscale functional space types, their interactions with specific types of ongoing activities or events, greenery and visual openness on soundscape quality evalu…
Unravelling the street thermal features network and spatial visual thermal inertia
Simulation and exposure assessment of hourly traffic noise in Hong Kong using a minimal error iterative model based on diversion strategies
Flipped Micro-Modules for Teaching Sustainable Engineering Practices
With the aim of assisting students in acquiring the practical knowledge required for sustainable engineering practices, a new intervention method in the form of flipped micro-modules was developed. The perceived quality of the flipped micro-modules and their relationship with the students’ attitudes towards using them were then evaluated using an extended technology acceptance model (TAM-extended model). The quality of the flipped micro-modules w…
Project-based learning and pedagogies for virtual reality-aided green building education
Purpose Green building education, an important aspect of sustainability in higher education, has rapidly expanded across the world. Yet, a bespoke pedagogical model integrating the essential elements of green building knowledge into a university course is lacking. To plug this deficiency, this study aims to develop an innovative pedagogical model that incorporates four types of teaching activities, namely, lecture, virtual reality (VR)-aided site…
An exploratory analysis of low-carbon transitions in China's construction industry based on multi-level perspective
Understanding the relationship between urban morphology and solar potential in mixed-use neighborhoods using machine learning algorithms
Examination of the Effect of a 50-Hz Electromagnetic Field at 500 μT on Parameters Related With the Cardiovascular System in Rats
Background: Whether electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure affects the function of the cardiovascular system is under debate. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of 500 μT EMF exposure on the cardiovascular system in rats. Methods: Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats of 8-week-old were randomly divided into two groups, the sham group and the exposure group. During the 24 weeks exposure (20 h per day), blood pressure and pulse rate w…
