Despite the multidisciplinary nature of the collection, some transversal take-home messages emerge: ? Today?s energy-efficient paradigms may lose their virtuosity in the future unless accurate estimates of future scenarios are used to design modelling platforms and to inform legislative frameworks; ? Acting at the local scale is key. Future climate change adaptation will be implemented at the local level. Overlooking regional and local specificities will contribute to inaccurate and inefficient action plans. As such, the smaller scale will become vital in predicting future urban metabolic rates and corresponding comfort-driven strategies; ? Energy poverty, heat vulnerability, and social injustice are emerging as critical factors for planning and acting for future-proof cities on par of micro- and meso-climatological factors; ? Given that the impacts of climate change will persist for many years, adaptation to this phenomenon should be prioritized by removing any prominent barrier and by enabling combinations of different mitigation technologies. These topics will receive a global reach in few decades, since also developing and underdeveloped countries are starting their fight against local climate change, with cities at the forefront. 517 $aBuilt Environment in a Changing Climate 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aoutdoor space 610 $athermal environment 610 $aradiation environment 610 $awind environment 610 $aheat-related mortality 610 $abuilt environment 610 $aurban resilience 610 $aextreme heat 610 $aclimate change 610 $aurban heat island 610 $aheat stress from outside 610 $aindoor environments 610 $atropics 610 $amulti-level office buildings 610 $acoastal cities 610 $aMediterranean climate 610 $aurban heat island intensity 610 $asample year 610 $aclimate change adaptation 610 $abarriers 610 $afocus group discussion 610 $aTehran 610 $astructural equation modeling 610 $aurban management 610 $anear-zero energy buildings 610 $afuture scenarios 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aadaptive comfort 610 $along-term performance 610 $aurban heat 610 $aAustralia 610 $aUHI effect 610 $amitigation 610 $abushfire smoke 610 $aindoor air quality 610 $afiltration 610 $abuilding envelope 610 $aenergy 610 $afuture weather data 610 $abuilding energy performance 610 $athermal comfort 610 $astatistical downscaling of climate models 610 $adynamical downscaling of climate models 610 $aurban modelling 610 $acities 610 $abuildings 610 $adecarbonization 610 $aurbanisation 610 $aclimate 610 $adensification 610 $apopulation 610 $atemperature 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aUlpiani$b Giulia$4edt$01303347 702 $aZinzi$b Michele$4edt 702 $aUlpiani$b Giulia$4oth 702 $aZinzi$b Michele$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557350103321 996 $aThe Built Environment in a Changing Climate$93026926 997 $aUNINA
