As the world continues to urbanize at an unprecedented rate, the energy demand in cities is
rising. Buildings account for over 75% of all the energy consumed in cities and are …

This study proposes an innovative building energy simulation framework that
comprehensively considers multi-city scale, long-term, and high-spatial-resolution analysis …

Urban morphology relates to the form, structure, physical characteristics, and arrangement of
buildings affecting the urban microclimate. As the morphological characteristics vary across …

Reducing greenhouse gases from buildings forms the cornerstone of policy to mitigate the
effects of climate change. However, the automation of urban-scale building energy modeling …

In the context of climate change, adapting a city's open spaces to heat waves and extreme
heat is crucial for mitigating the Urban Heat Island effect and ensuring the wellbeing of its …

Passive design strategies can reduce heating and cooling demands with integration of more
efficient building systems as well as the potential to integrate modular off-site construction …

Urban microclimate varies for different urban morphologies in a city necessitating the
assessment of impact of green roofs on the local microclimate in such typical morphologies …

Typical energy-efficient retrofit studies based on urban building energy models face
challenges in quickly obtaining appropriate retrofit solutions and often ignore the …

The rise in outdoor temperatures and heatwaves highlights the limitations of buildings in
adapting to warming conditions, even in temperate climates. This paper analyses the indoor …

Buildings in the EU are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of GHG
emissions. This means that a major contribution from the construction and building sector is …
