The absence of vegetation in urban areas contributes to the establishment of the urban heat
island, markedly increasing thermal stress for residents, driving morbidity and mortality …

Green roofs are artificial ecosystems that provide a nature-based solution to environmental
challenges such as climate change and the urban heat island. Green roofs aid in the …

Urban residents suffer more from heat stress, compared to people living in rural areas, due
to the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Mitigation of UHI is thus essential to improving human …

The rise in greenhouse gas emissions in cities and the excessive consumption of fossil
energy resources has made the development of green spaces, such as green roofs, an …

Radiative sky cooling (RSC), acting as a passive cooling method, reduces the heat gain by
dissipating the excessive heat via reflective and radiative approaches. The heat sink of RSC …

Developing countries encounter challenges in adopting advanced roof systems due to the
complexities associated with implementing advanced materials and techniques. This study …

Renewable energy is becoming increasingly popular in the development of low-carbon
societies. Radiative sky cooling (RSC) technology utilizes long waves in the atmospheric …

Passive envelope systems for building cooling are of great significance to achieve
sustainable and low-energy buildings. Although promising advances in radiative sky cooling …

Renewable and bioclimatic techniques play a major role in promoting the sustainability of
buildings. Therefore, it is important to study the performance of these techniques in various …

In order to address the increased urban heat island (UHI) effects and energy demand
caused by global urbanization, it is imperative to seek sustainable urban design solutions. It …
