Residential overheating risk in an urban climate

, 2015
Abstract: A warming climate, increasing frequency and severity of extreme heat events, and the heat island effect, are cumulatively expected to exacerbate environmental thermal loading on urban buildings. This in turn could lead to increased summertime overheating, with potential for causing adverse effects to the health and wellbeing of building ...
