Sustainable building air conditioning in Europe
Concepts for avoiding heat islands and for a comfortable indoor climate
The intensity of heat islands in urban areas with many sealed surfaces and little vegetation is increasing due to climate change. This study investigated both how to mitigate this effect on affected neighbourhoods and how to provide agreeable indoor temperature, if possible without air conditioning. Using simulations of both microclimate and buildings, the effect of alterations in outdoor areas (p…weiterlesen
