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 & 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 & technologyKošir Mitjaedt969894Singh Manoj KumaredtKošir MitjaothSingh Manoj KumarothBOOK9910595075003321Buildings of Tomorrow: Goals and Challenges for Design and Operation of High-Performance Buildings3033979UNINA
