One of the ways to address the issues is holistic design and operation of high-performance buildings in the area of energy efficiency, occupant health, and comfort. All this should be achieved through synergic interconnectedness between parameters such as the indoor-outdoor environment, sustainability, and resilience. Through different chapters, this reprint highlights the key areas, namely, the optimization of building design parameters, the impact of the use of modern-day phase-change materials, the adaptation of occupants and buildings to climate change, the mitigation of urban overheating by cool roofs, and reducing energy demand and CO2 emissions.Buildings of TomorrowTechnology: general issuesbicsscHistory of engineering & technologybicsscHistory of engineering and technologybicsscclimate changebioclimatic designpassive designenergy efficiencyoverheatingbuilding resiliencerobustnessshape factorbuildingthermal envelopeenergy demandCO2 emissionswhite roofscool roofsreflective materialcost-benefitenergy savingsurban heat islandthermal comfortindoor environmental qualityeducational buildingsenergy consumptionslocal discomfortbuilding energy retrofittingphase change materialsaerogel renderheat stress riskemissionlifecycle costpeak cooling loadresidential buildingbuilding envelopemulti-objective genetic algorithmTRNSYSclimate zonemulti-criteria decision makingCRITICTOPSIScapture devicesvariablesfield surveysthermal perceptionsadaptive actionshostel dormitoriescomposite climate of Indiareflective materialsmitigationoutdoor comfortvisual comfortheat stressoptimizationskyscrapersTechnology: general issuesHistory of engineering & technologyHistory of engineering and technologyKosÌŒir MitjaedtSingh Manoj KumaredtKosÌŒir MitjaothSingh Manoj KumarothBOOK9910595075003321UNINA
