ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTIONS TO FACE CLIMATE CHANGE AND ACHIEVE THERMAL COMFORT IN THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES OF BUILDINGS [PDF]
Studies and statistics emphasize that the temperatures and climate change of the atmosphere have recorded a change between high temperature and humidity over the past 100 years. It is expected by the end of the current century, that the global temperature will rise significantly, if the rates of change and greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere ...
