As the built environment continues to face increasing climate challenges – threatening physical and natural assets as well human health well-being with significant hazards such heatwaves, flooding, drought targeted adaptation measures are essential reduce impacts, safeguard assets, enhance resilience of buildings, infrastructure, communities. However, lack a systematic collection criteria for evaluating their underscores need comprehensive catalogue support planning design processes.The...
There is an urgency of planning, designing and retrofitting the Built Environment in order to be adaptable present future risks induced by climatic non-climatic hazards. The assessment risk resilience requires understanding inseparable relationship between physical spaces their users across different scales. Key Performance Indicators provide a quantitative approach assessing resilience, enabling systematic evaluation diverse factors within Environment. MULTICLIMACT Horizon Europe project...
In the study of impacts that multiple extreme events (natural and human) can produce on ecosystems, phenomena related to weather climate changes represent a relevant, but not new, threats for human settlements, which have always faced with changing environmental conditions. However, activity territorial alteration took place over centuries represents disturbing action natural system, requires new design approaches. The construction buildings spaces impervious surfaces introduction specific...
<p>A new urban canopy scheme for the ICON atmospheric model is presented. Increasing resolution of models numerical weather prediction (NWP) or climate simulations allows, among others, a more realistic description processes at land surface. Here, one field growing interest are in areas. Beside their relevance meteorological modelling, there general trend most countries that number people living towns significantly increasing. During recent years, an parameterization was...
