Field measurement campaigns have grown exponentially in recent years, stemming from the need for reliable data to validate urban climate models and obtain a better understanding of features. Also contributing this growth is Local Climate Zone (LCZ) scheme, firstly developed enhance accuracy contextualisation measurements, lately used characterising areas. Due its relative novelty, researchers are still investigating potential LCZs indicators temperature variability detection. In respect,...
The feminisation of energy poverty in the city Madrid is currently impossible to measure through statistics for those women who are not main breadwinners. However, a crescent body knowledge about qualitative research applied study has disclosed several aspects related vulnerability and its impacts. paper shows results characterisation 16 from based on interviews conducted during winters 2019 2020, before after COVID-19 lockdown. Four different ways which gender roles shape experiences...
Global warming is increasing extreme heat conditions, with existing energy efficiency policies showing trade-offs between mitigation objectives and adaptation to climate change. This research aims identify the best resilient cooling solutions that should be promoted in built environment of extremely hot countries increase their resilience capacity. The impact change on zones, thermal demand (kWh/m2), indoor discomfort hours (DHh, hours) buildings evaluated different dry climates southern...
Summer energy poverty has been identified as an overlooked issue within research. Although there is a growing interest in qualitatively characterizing urban-scale phenomena by paticipative means and public engagement, not yet sufficient experiences focused on community relationships strategies to cope with excessive heat. During summertime, cities located southern Europe experience increase social activities spaces that may respond need find climate shelters avoid indoor extremes...
Summer energy poverty (SEP) is becoming a more concerning issue in southern European countries. This due to the increasing intensity and frequency of heatwaves, which are particularly severe urban areas. In this matter, scientific literature has grown on topics such as microclimate, passive cooling or assessing people's adaptability high temperatures. However, there still gap between knowledge local policies when addressing poverty, SEP. paper aims bridge policy by gathering existing...
The characteristics of urbanism and its construction properties are critical factors in shaping energy demand citizens' quality life. Urban typology approaches classify the urban built environment through common patterns, facilitating building analysis retrofitting. However, current methods struggle between detailed local classifications broad land spatial distributions, which include environments. This paper presents a systematic methodology to objectively identify residential areas...
Resumen Esta investigación se enmarca dentro del proyecto MODIFICA (modelo predictivo - Edificios Isla de Calor Urbano), financiado por el Programa I + D i Orientada a los Retos la sociedad 'Retos Investigación' 2013. Está dirigido desarrollar un modelo eficiencia energética para viviendas, bajo efecto isla calor urbano (AUS) con fin ponerla en práctica evaluación demanda energía real y consumo las viviendas. A pesar grandes avances que han logrado durante últimos años rendimiento energético...
Abstract Urban heat islands are compounding the dangerous impacts of urban exposure globally. Cities across geographies require immediate and advanced climate information with enough resolution to detect risks prioritise local adaptation interventions for their people. This research analyses applicability 550,000 citizen weather stations globally, a network 12 times larger than professionally operated stations, measure at highest spatio-temporal support policies higher data availability...
In the last decades, urban climate researchers have highlighted need for a reliable provision of meteorological data in local context. Several efforts been made this direction using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), demonstrating that they are an accurate alternative to numerical approaches when modelling large time series. However, existing varied, and it is unclear how much needed train them. This study explores whether training can be reduced without overly compromising model accuracy, if...
The Service Learning project presented here is part of the H2020-Cooltorise project, aimed at raising awareness problem summer energy poverty in southern European countries and reducing cooling demands vulnerable population. In first year more than 60 architecture students from different Technical Schools Community Madrid have had opportunity to carry out workshops on optimization bills, heat culture climate adaptation scales, as well an intervention for improvement urban microclimate....
