Many newly built, energy-efficient terraced houses are characterised by high indoor air
temperatures and thermal comfort issues, because these state-of-the-art houses were …

With the expectation of increasing frequency and magnitude of extreme events caused by
climate change, one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of building design in the …

Demand side energy flexibility is increasingly being viewed as an essential enabler for the
swift transition to a low-carbon energy system that displaces conventional fossil fuels with …

With climate change leading to more frequent, more intense, and longer durations of
extreme weather events such as heat waves and cold snaps, it is essential to maintain safe …

Extreme hot and cold weather events are becoming more frequent, intense, and longer due
to climate change. When these events occur coincidentally with power outages, the resulting …

The quality of future working circumstances for many will be contingent on how low energy
indoor spaces respond to challenges from accelerated ambient warming. Resilient cooling …

In the last years, the concept of thermal resilience has been gaining increasing relevance in
building design. Several frameworks for resilience analysis were recently developed, which …

Quantifying building resilience to extreme weather conditions helps identify the capability of
a building system to tolerate disturbances and recover from extreme events. The robustness …

The characteristic that describes the extent to which buildings and their systems maintain
their performance during shocks is called resilience. Building policies in the EU have …

This paper presents the main challenges faced and lessons learned when developing a
new method to assess the thermal performance of residential buildings for the recently …
