Abstract Space cooling now has the fastest-growing energy end-use in buildings, with an
almost tripled energy demand compared to 1990. This paper provides a state-of-the-art …

Motivated by the international tendency to improve the urban microclimate, minimize
building energy consumption and improve air quality, this paper carries out a literature …

An optimal day-ahead scheduling method (ODSM) for the integrated urban energy system
(IUES) is introduced, which considers the reconfigurable capability of an electric distribution …

The development of sustainable and innovative solutions for the production and supply of
energy at district level is nowadays one of the main technical challenges. In the past, district …

The use of air-conditioning systems is expected to increase as a consequence of global-
scale and urban-scale climate warming. In order to represent future scenarios of urban …

Recent years have witnessed growing concern about climate change's impact upon office
buildings' performance in regard to energy consumption and indoor thermal comfort. A …

This study uses the GAINS model framework to estimate current and future emissions of
fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases), their abatement potentials, and costs for twenty …

In order to determine the optimal day-ahead scheduling schemes of the integrated
community energy system (ICES), a two-stage multi-objective scheduling method (TMSM) …

Recent climate projections predict an amplification of global warming and more frequent
extreme events such as heat waves. Therefore, the adaptation of cities to counterbalance …

This long-awaited reference guide provides a complete overview of low energy cooling
systems for buildings, covering a wide range of existing and emerging sustainable energy …
