Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.

Bioclimatic closures for hot humid climates: The fourth house

Informes de la Construccion, 1998
En climas cálidos húmedos como es el caso de grandes regiones de Venezuela, las envolventes deben reducir la influencia de la radiación solar y, por lo tanto, deben recibir atención especial. Venezuela es también el país con más alto consumo energético per capita en Iberoamérica, generado en su mayor parte por el uso de sistemas de aire acondicionado ...

Classroom Façade Design for Daylighting in a Tropical Hot-humid Climate [PDF]

, 2019
Previous studies have confirmed that the learning performance of school students can improve when good levels of daylight are available in classrooms. In tropical climates, it might be difficult to utilise and control natural light due to its high levels.

Weather Action: A Study on the Industry Peer Effects of Corporate Climate Risk Information Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global climate change has elevated the strategic importance of corporate climate risk disclosure, yet the role of industry peer effects in shaping such disclosure remains underexplored. Grounded in social learning theory, this study proposes an “observation–imitation–reinforcement” framework and empirically tests it using panel data on Chinese

A Systematic Review of Multi-Objective Optimisation Building Energy Retrofit, with a Focus on Hot-Humid Climate Regions

Energies
Globally, buildings are responsible for around 32% of energy consumption and 34% of greenhouse gas emissions. One reason for this is the poor energy efficiency of much of the current building stock.

Challenges of Bio‐Syngas Conversion to High‐Value‐Added Liquid Chemicals and Fuels via COx Hydrogenation

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Converting biomass‐derived syngas into value‐added fuels and chemicals offers a promising route toward carbon neutrality, yet unfavorable H2/COx ratios, elevated CO2 levels, and trace impurities pose persistent obstacles. This review examines strategies spanning syngas conditioning, impurity‐tolerant catalyst development, and integrated process design,

Enhancement of the Plant‐Accessible Phosphate Fraction in Sewage Sludge Ashes by Na+ or K+ Addition Prior to Combustion

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...
