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 The artsbicsscArchitecturebicssclow-carbon cityevaluation indexstandardizationentropy weight methodlevelcarbon emissionsspatial networksynergetic abatementBeijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomerationSNAbuilding stocksurvival analysislifetime distributionsystem dynamicslow-carbon pilot initiativepolicy effect evaluationsynthetic control methodmethod of simplified calculationenergy consumption of buildingsmultifamily residential buildingtemperate climateLatin Americacarbon dioxide offsetsART footprint toolurban ecosystemsnature-based solutionsgreen infrastructurewindow designnatural ventilationindoor air qualitycarbon dioxide (CO2) concentrationthermal comfortadaptive comfort modeloffice buildingthe Mediterranean climatecitypost-disaster shelterpost-conflict sheltertransitional sheltersustainable shelteringemergency shelteringrefugeesGHG emissionslife cycle assessmentlarge space buildinghigh-speed railway stationlow carbon citieslow energy buildingssustainability transitionsshelterbuilding lifetimecarbon fluxThe artsArchitecturePomponi Francescoedt1308052D’Amico BernardinoedtPomponi FrancescoothD’Amico BernardinoothBOOK9910557717103321Low Energy Architecture and Low Carbon Cities3029077UNINA
