With projected trends in population growth and urbanization, global demand for new floor area is expected to rise sharply. This will put unprecedented pressure on the availability of natural resources and incur greenhouse gas emissions and energy demand. Such environmental stressors risk driving the world away from the UN Sustainable Development Goals, but equally represent an opportunity for just sustainability transitions. The contents of this book aim to address some of these grand challenges from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Low-energy architecture, low-carbon cities and the often-forgotten sustainability of refugee settlements are some of the themes dealt with by the authors.Low Energy Architecture and Low Carbon Cities ArchitecturebicsscThe Artsbicsscadaptive comfort modelART footprint toolBeijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomerationbuilding lifetimebuilding stockcarbon dioxide (CO2) concentrationcarbon dioxide offsetscarbon emissionscarbon fluxcityemergency shelteringenergy consumption of buildingsentropy weight methodevaluation indexGHG emissionsgreen infrastructurehigh-speed railway stationindoor air qualitylarge space buildingLatin Americalevellife cycle assessmentlifetime distributionlow carbon citieslow energy buildingslow-carbon citylow-carbon pilot initiativemethod of simplified calculationmultifamily residential buildingnatural ventilationnature-based solutionsoffice buildingpolicy effect evaluationpost-conflict shelterpost-disaster shelterrefugeesshelterSNAspatial networkstandardizationsurvival analysissustainability transitionssustainable shelteringsynergetic abatementsynthetic control methodsystem dynamicstemperate climatethe Mediterranean climatethermal comforttransitional shelterurban ecosystemswindow designArchitectureThe ArtsPomponi Francescoedt1308052D’Amico BernardinoedtPomponi FrancescoothD’Amico BernardinoothBOOK9910557717103321Low Energy Architecture and Low Carbon Cities3029077UNINA
