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. 517 $aBuildings of Tomorrow 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aclimate change 610 $abioclimatic design 610 $apassive design 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aoverheating 610 $abuilding resilience 610 $arobustness 610 $ashape factor 610 $abuilding 610 $athermal envelope 610 $aenergy demand 610 $aCO2 emissions 610 $awhite roofs 610 $acool roofs 610 $areflective material 610 $acost-benefit 610 $aenergy savings 610 $aurban heat island 610 $athermal comfort 610 $aindoor environmental quality 610 $aeducational buildings 610 $aenergy consumptions 610 $alocal discomfort 610 $abuilding energy retrofitting 610 $aphase change materials 610 $aaerogel render 610 $aheat stress risk 610 $aemission 610 $alifecycle cost 610 $apeak cooling load 610 $aresidential building 610 $abuilding envelope 610 $amulti-objective genetic algorithm 610 $aTRNSYS 610 $aclimate zone 610 $amulti-criteria decision making 610 $aCRITIC 610 $aTOPSIS 610 $acapture devices 610 $avariables 610 $afield surveys 610 $athermal perceptions 610 $aadaptive actions 610 $ahostel dormitories 610 $acomposite climate of India 610 $areflective materials 610 $amitigation 610 $aoutdoor comfort 610 $avisual comfort 610 $aheat stress 610 $aoptimization 610 $askyscrapers 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aKošir$b Mitja$4edt 702 $aSingh$b Manoj Kumar$4edt 702 $aKošir$b Mitja$4oth 702 $aSingh$b Manoj Kumar$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910595075003321 997 $aUNINA
