With the expectation of increasing frequency and magnitude of extreme events caused by
climate change, one of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of building design in the …

Given that the passive performance simulation of buildings based on typical meteorological
year data and specific design schemes makes it challenging to respond to climate change …

Environmental issues, costs, and limited energy supply, among other concerns have been
driving the efforts toward more energy efficient buildings over the last four decades. Hence …

Recently, due to the increase in the number and severity of heat waves, there is a growing
interest in understanding overheating inside buildings and the associated health risks. As a …

There is a trend toward high-rise residential buildings with large--often floor-to-ceiling--
glazed areas. In most climates, these buildings are reliant on mechanical systems to …

The simulation of thermal resilience of buildings to extreme weather events has been
usually separated from that of building energy efficiency technologies. Their …

Although concepts of resiliency and sustainability have long been tenets within the culture of
design, their modern classification, measurement, and codification in the late 20th and early …
