Urban air temperature rises induced by the urban heat island (UHIE) effect or by global
warming (GW) can be beneficial in winter but detrimental in summer. The SCIENCE-Outdoor …

Occupants' behaviors (OBs) toward air conditioning (AC) usage in residential buildings have
a strong influence on diverse time patterns of load profiles; thus, various stochastic OB …

Densely built areas with poor thermal insulation suffer from high thermal environmental risks
and generally consume high energy in summer. Determining the relationship between …

Recently, increasing urban temperatures due to the urban heat islands (UHI) and global
warming (GW) have been remarkable around the world. Especially in Japan, during the last …

In this paper, we simulated and compared the effects of the various energy consumption
countermeasures in residential building in terms of" building specific and outdoor …

This paper presents a study of the impact of urban warming upon energy consumption for air-
conditioning in the home, using a numerical simulation model. The results are as follows. 1) …

抄録 In recent years, cross-ventilation is actively used in the mid-season and at night and in
the early morning in summer as a countermeasure toward global warming. This aims to gain …
