Green building (GB) strategies are essential for mitigating energy wastage in the building
sector, which accounts for nearly 40% of global energy consumption. However, due to the …

The next-generation systems are expected to be largely cyber–physical systems (CPSs) that
autonomously control physical processes, through sensors and actuators typically in real …

This study analyses the development of modular building design elements to improve the
thermal performance of base case post-war social housing development estates in the …

As a vital component of urban heat risk, the vulnerability of exposed elements must be
assessed before further impact prediction and strategy implementation. In previous studies …

Abstract Personal Conditioning Devices (PCD) create a microenvironment around their
users and therefore, better satisfy an individual's thermal comfort than central HVAC systems …

Several alternatives have been introduced in recent years to enhance the thermal comfort
levels within buildings. Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS), one of the above …

As the current environmental crisis and depletion of our energy resources are pushing the
Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry toward the design and …

This book critically examines the philosophy of the term 'transgression'and how it shapes the
utopian vision of contemporary urban design scenarios. The aim of this book is to provide …
