Regulations corroborate the importance of retrofitting existing building stocks or constructing
new energy-efficient districts. There is, thus, a need for modeling tools to evaluate energy …

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 …

Dense urban morphologies further amplify extreme climate events due to the urban heat
island phenomenon, rendering cities more vulnerable to extreme climate events. Here we …

Climate-adaptive energy resilience and low-carbon transformation are mainstreams to
combat with climate change uncertainty, rural energy poverty, and urban modern energy …

The current climate change is calling for a drastic reduction of energy demand as well as of
greenhouse gases. Besides this, cities also need to adapt to face the challenges related to …

Urban energy use modeling is important for understanding and managing energy
performance in cities. However, the existing methods and tools have limitations in …

This study aims to assess the impact of neighborhood-scale urban heat island (UHI) on the
energy performance of buildings. Hourly air temperature and relative humidity were …

Urban microclimate conditions could be an important factor influencing building thermal
performance. However, most studies on urban building energy modeling (UBEM) use the …

The urban energy infrastructure is facing a rising number of challenges due to climate
change and rapid urbanization. In particular, the link between urban morphology and energy …

In order to address the increased urban heat island (UHI) effects and energy demand
caused by global urbanization, it is imperative to seek sustainable urban design solutions. It …
