Findings of a study conducted by Syed Ahmad Farhan et al. from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS and Universiti Teknologi MARA in 2021, [2] which is based on the hot and humid climate of Malaysia, suggest that the selection of white roof tiles significantly reduces the peaks of heat conduction transfer and roof-top surface temperature as well as ...
What would architecture be like if design began from a place not of unlimited imagination and abundance, but rather one of economic and material scarcity? To Combat Climate Change, Architecture ...
Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...
Sustainable architecture is architecture that seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings through improved efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, development space and the ecosystem at large. Sustainable architecture uses a conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in the design of the ...
Climate change is associated with more frequent and severe wildfires, extreme weather events, droughts, and pollution—all of which impact our food, water, air, and overall well-being.
The description of CABS made by Loonen et al. [1] says that: A climate adaptive building shell has the ability to repeatedly and reversibly change some of its functions, features or behavior over time in response to changing performance requirements and variable boundary conditions, and does this with the aim of improving overall building performance.
The restorative powers of green space are not to be underestimated—here’s how top projects around the world are welcoming the natural world in and boosting well-being in the process. The post ...
Climate change adaptation is the process of adjusting to the effects of climate change. These can be both current or expected impacts. [1] Adaptation aims to moderate or avoid harm for people, and is usually done alongside climate change mitigation. It also aims to exploit opportunities. Humans may also intervene to help adjust for natural ...
