Heat extremes (ie, heatwaves) already have a serious impact on human health, with ageing,
poverty, and chronic illnesses as aggravating factors. As the global community seeks to …

We reviewed the present studies on the vulnerability and resilience of the energy ecosystem
(most parts of the energy ecosystem), considering extreme climate events. This study …

Extreme hot and cold weather events are becoming more frequent, intense, and longer due
to climate change. When these events occur coincidentally with power outages, the resulting …

Earthen building materials have been regaining popularity due to their environmental,
economic, and health advantages. Furthermore, given projected thermal survivability in the …

Disadvantaged communities face a growing threat to staying safe during heat waves,
especially during coincident power outages. This study develops a methodology to evaluate …

Urban overheating affects the energy, health, power, survivability and environmental quality
of cities. We calculated the magnitude of overheating in Sydney, Australia, at close to 9° C …

The article presents the results of experimental research carried out in two real-scale
detached energy-efficient single-family buildings designed to be almost identical with …

Social housing stock worldwide can be characterised by poor indoor environmental quality
and building thermal performance, which along with the increasing urban overheating put …

With increasing urbanization, overheating intensifies, resulting in a greater risk of indoor
overheating in commercial buildings, which already have high internal gains. The impact of …

Given that the passive performance simulation of buildings based on typical meteorological
year data and specific design schemes makes it challenging to respond to climate change …
