Urban overheating is documented for more than 400 major cities in the world. Numerous
experimental data show that the magnitude of the average temperature increase may …

Urban heat island and global warming increase significantly the ambient temperature.
Higher temperatures have a serious impact on the electricity consumption of the building …

Future energy demand is likely to increase due to climate change, but the magnitude
depends on many interacting sources of uncertainty. We combine econometrically estimated …

Price elasticities of energy demand have become increasingly relevant in estimating the
socio-economic and environmental effects of energy policies or other events that influence …

Energy systems can be vulnerable to climate change. This paper summarizes the
contribution of their authors to a few strategic studies, research workshops, development …

Global warming has drawn great attention in recent years because of its large impact on
many aspects of the environment and human activities in buildings. One area directly …

In this paper artificial neural networks (ANN) are addressed in order the Greek long-term
energy consumption to be predicted. The multilayer perceptron model (MLP) has been used …

Climate change is a widely acknowledged major environmental problem whose impacts on
building energy use however are not fully understood. Various climate models have been …

Energy consumption and thermal comfort in buildings are heavily affected by weather
conditions. This study investigated the impact of climate change on thermal comfort …
