With the doubling of urban population within the next two decades and the disproportionate
growth of megacities, it is critical to explore the synergism between urban heat and pollution …

Increased urban air temperatures due to urbanization affect the buildings' energy
performance and the outdoor thermal comfort. Aiming on the establishment of adaption …

Climate change and air pollution have been a matter of serious concern all over the world in
the last few decades. The present review has been carried out in this concern over the …

Energy consumption in the urban environment impacts the urban surface energy budget and
leads to the emission of anthropogenic sensible heat and moisture into the atmosphere …

This article investigates the effect of air conditioning (AC) systems on air temperature and
examines their electricity consumption for a semiarid urban environment. We simulate a 10 …

The solar and waste heat-powered humidification-dehumidification (HDH) desalination
