In the next decades, the increase in global population will lead to further urbanization
determining, on the one hand, an increase in building energy use and, on the other hand, a …

Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect relates to the occurrence of a positive heat balance,
compared to suburban and extra-urban areas in a high degree of urbanized cities. It is …

Climate change and urban heat islands (UHIs) pose mounting threats to built-up areas. In
this regard, photovoltaic panels and green roof systems (PV/GR) can offer numerous …

Green roofs, as a nature-based solution, can be an effective tool for cities to improve the
thermal environment, save energy, and combat climate change. However, it remains unclear …

The growth of the population in cities and the increase in the use of construction materials
caused the cities' internal temperature to increase, producing the effect known as urban heat …

Green roof systems can contribute to sustainable urban planning in terms of acoustics by
absorbing sound energy and thereby reducing sound levels. However, these positive …

Green roof and night-time ventilation are promising passive cooling strategies. These two
strategies and walls insulation have been researched separately in many studies. In this …

This study conducts a literature review coupled with case-study calculations comparing the
