In recent years, smart cities have grown in popularity, both in research and in practice. The
focus of smart city studies and policy initiatives has historically been on technology …

Thermal environment influences human thermal comfort significantly when people have
outdoor activities. Four environmental parameters determine outdoor thermal comfort, which …

Decarbonized power systems are critical to mitigate climate change, yet methods to achieve
a reliable and resilient near-zero power system are still under exploration. This study …

Surface temperature is often used to examine heat exposure in multi‐city studies and for
informing urban heat mitigation efforts due to scarcity of urban air temperature …

The energy demand for heating and cooling buildings is changing with global warming.
Using proxies of climate-driven energy demand based on the heating and cooling Degree …

Rising ambient temperatures due to climate change will increase urban populations'
exposures to extreme heat. During hot hours, a key protective adaptation is increased air …

We exploit regional variations in exposure to heat stress to study if physical climate risk is
priced in municipal and corporate bonds as well as in equity markets. We find consistent …

Soaring temperatures and increased occurrence of heatwaves have drastically increased air‐
conditioning demand, a trend that will likely continue into the future. Yet, the impact of …

Wet‐bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a widely applied heat stress index. However, most
applications of WBGT within the heat stress impact literature that do not use WBGT at all, but …

This study forecasts electricity consumption in a smart grid environment. We present a
bottom-up prediction method using a combination of forecasting values based on time …
