Urban areas are critical in accomplishing the clean energy transition and meeting the
climate goals in the Paris Agreement. The first part of this paper presents a systematic …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to systematically review the state-of-art literature on the
net-zero economy in the field of supply chain management. Design/methodology/approach …

BIPV windows are the most suitable alternative to conventional windows currently available
today. They offer thermal insulation and can generate electricity from the embedded solar …

The transition to clean and sustainable energy systems in the building sector is vital to
reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, shifting the focus from single …

Abstract Urban Heat Islands (UHI) occur in and around cities, leading to warmer
temperatures than in surrounding rural areas. The UHI effect increases energy demand, air …

Reducing carbon emissions has been a focus problem with the rapidly increasing building
energy consumption. One solution is adopting more Renewable Energy Resources (RESs) …

Statistics show that developed countries already host a significant number of building
integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPV/T) systems, but develo** countries, including many …

While the effects of climate change are already being felt in many parts of the world,
societies are compelled to drastically rethink the way they produce and manage energy, to …

For a sustainable urban environment, the adoption of building-integrated photovoltaics
(BIPV) is a promising solution. Despite multiple studies on BIPV in individual buildings, scant …

Building fenestrations are the key components maintaining the connection between building
exterior and interior. However, they are also the weakest allowing heat loss, gain and light …
