Abstract Implementing Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) is a promising way to reduce building
energy demand and facilitates the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development …

Application of the passive approach as a non-mechanical method is an effective technique
to tackle high energy consumption as well as diminishing the destructive effects of buildings …

Many previous studies have investigated the role of urban greening (especially trees) on
thermal comfort condition of open spaces while its influence in street canyons has, however …

Using a validated ENVI-met model, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the
thermal and energy saving benefits in a selected neighbourhood with its current greenery …

It is universally acknowledged that climate change brings widespread attention to solar
greenhouse plant carbon sequestration. Suitable technologies in solar greenhouses were …

Studies have shown that urban vegetation can be an effective strategy for reducing energy
consumption in urban buildings by regulating the microclimate and shading solar radiation …

This study presents an one-way coupling approach between the ENVI-met microclimate
model and the EnergyPlus building energy simulation program, to assess the effect of the …

Building cooling energy use is regarded as the hot topic of building research due to its
increasing trend at a rate proportional to the total direct energy use in urban areas …

Over the past decades, intense urbanization processes have produced built environments
with a low energy efficiency and a severe lack of green spaces, which represent the main …

Using field measurement and numerical simulation techniques, this study assessed the
impact of tree-shading on indoor and outdoor summer thermal conditions of two similar …
