Background Given the increasing trend of global warming and extreme weather conditions,
including heat waves and its effects on health, the present study was done to investigate …

Exposure to high and low ambient temperatures can cause harm to human health. Due to
global warming, heat-related health effects are likely to increase substantially in future …

Rising global temperatures and more frequent heatwaves due to climate change have led to
a growing body of research and increased policy focus on how to protect against the …

Hot weather can exacerbate health conditions such as cardiovascular and respiratory
diseases, and lead to heat stroke and death. In built up areas, temperatures are commonly …

Energy efficiency in the home is a major concern for households, governments and various
non-government organisations. Energy efficiency has implications beyond usage and costs …

Different stakeholders are involved in the energy consumption in buildings: occupants,
designers, managers, operators, policymakers, technology developers and vendors …

Anthropogenic climate change will likely put dwellings at risk of overheating and potentially
increase cooling demand in the decades ahead, leading to higher greenhouse gas (GHG) …

Comprehensive studies comparing impacts of building and street levels interventions on air
temperature at metropolitan scales are still lacking despite increased urban heat‐related …

The intensity and duration of hot weather and the number of extreme weather events, such
as heatwaves, are increasing, leading to a growing need for space cooling energy demand …

Current energy and climate policies are formulated and implemented to mitigate and adapt
to climate change. To inform relevant building policies, two bottom-up building stock …
