Energy conservation measures (ECMs) are often chosen for their immediate benefits, such
as suitability to past/current climate conditions and rapid economic returns. However, the …

Microbially-induced corrosion (MIC) is unstoppable and extensively spread throughout
drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) as the cause of pipe leakage and deteriorating …

Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, is a growing global concern,
threatening world-wide environment, health and economy. Energy needs for buildings are a …

Temperature variation can promote physico-chemical and microbial changes in the water
transported through distribution systems and influence the dynamics of biofilms attached to …

Due to the sharp increase in global industrial production, as well as the over-exploitation of
land and sea resources, the quality of drinking water has deteriorated considerably …

Shallow aquifers beneath cities are highly influenced by anthropogenic heat sources,
resulting in the formation of extensive subsurface urban heat islands. In addition to …

Anthropogenic warming of the atmosphere is one if not the most pressing challenge we face
in the 21st century. While our state of knowledge on human drivers of atmospheric warming …

Meeting the rising energy demands of cities is a global challenge. Exploitation of the
additional heat in the subsurface associated with the subsurface urban heat island (SUHI) …

Domestic hot water systems are large energy consumers. With the aim of reducing the
energy footprint of these systems, we selected and simulated five technologies across a …

In this study, we describe an analysis indicating the relative importance of newer hourly
weather files for simulation analysis of the energy use of residential buildings in North …
