“…It can be found that the envelope design is one of the most Regarding container building envelopes, the basic requirements are set with the U-values from the European Insulation Manufacturers Association's report [28]. The scope of this paper is to propose the low U-value envelopes for container buildings, from the concept of view, in response to future climate [29]. In order to meet the generic container building design through the three different locations, each external part of the envelope with the minimum U-values has been proposed and estimated according to ISO 10456 [30], ISO 6946 [31], and manufacturing components [32,33], which are shown from Figures 4-6.…”

The deployment of containers as building modules has grown in popularity over the past years due to their inherent strength, modular construction, and relatively low cost. The upcycled container architecture is being accepted since it is more eco-friendly than using the traditional building materials with intensive carbon footprint. Moreover, owing to the unquestionable urgency of climate change, existing climate-adaptive design strategies may no longer respond effectively as they are supposed to work in the previous passive design. Therefore, this paper explores the conceptual design for an upcycled shipping container building, which is designed as a carbon-smart modular living solution to a single family house under three design scenarios, related to cold, temperate, and hot–humid climatic zones, respectively. The extra feature of future climate adaption has been added by assessing the projected future climate data with the ASHRAE Standard 55 and Current Handbook of Fundamentals Comfort Model. Compared with the conventional design, Rome would gradually face more failures in conventional climate-adaptive design measures in the coming 60 years, as the growing trends in both cooling and dehumidification demand. Consequently, the appropriate utilization of internal heat gains are proposed to be the most promising measure, followed by the measure of windows sun shading and passive solar direct gain by using low mass, in the upcoming future in Rome. Future climate projection further shows different results in Berlin and Stockholm, where the special attention is around the occasional overheating risk towards the design goal of future thermal comfort.

“…Today, with increasing population demand and increasing demand for clean water resources, and because of the negative effect of climate change on the world's water resources, more attention has been paid to climate change management. 45 This has led water managers and business owners F I G U R E 3 General steps of the algorithm: (A) primary population of sunflowers and the suns, (B) direction of the sunflowers toward the sun, (C) best sunflower pollinate near to the sun to analyze and predict the future climate and evaluate its effects on runoff control and its impacts on water resources. 46 Identifying and evaluating climate change-induced runoff changes is one of the significant factors in water resource management planning, and this is especially important in areas where large populations are engaged in agriculture.…”

This article investigates the negative effect of land use and climate changes on water resources by the SWAT and SWAT-DEEP\LMSFO model. Due to the importance of runoff impact on water resources in this article, the hybrid hydrological-deep neural networks optimized by the improved SFO based on logistic map (LMSFO) algorithm have been used to provide more accurate results for runoff estimation. This method improves runoff simulation. Firstly, runoff under the influence of land use and climate change is estimated by the SWAT model. Once again, runoff is estimated by the SWAT-DEEP/LMSFO model. In the DEEP/LMSFO model, the primary runoff has been estimated by an un-calibrated SWAT model. Then the Primary runoff simulated is entered as an input into the DEEP model. Finally, the runoff is estimated by a test-training method. The results of the SWAT model and the DEEP/LMSFO model show that there is an inverse correlation between land use so that reducing land cover increases runoff. The results show that climate change and land-use change can affect annual runoff changes in the coming years.

“…In this relevance, the notion of "Design for Resilience" has attracted major attention of both academia and policy makers, being a fundamental goal for cities and built environment [96] in order to address problems related to environmental management and climate-related disruptions [97]. Although resilient design often refers to future extreme climate events, such as natural disasters and climate adaptive survivability in their aftermath, a regular level of resilience is required to cope with chronic and routine stresses [98], which slowly get developed in hazards to the built environment, i.e., buildings obsolescence [99].…”

Adaptability of Buildings: A Critical Review on the Concept Evolution

Our ever-evolving built environment is continuously facing emerging needs for housing, work, health, and mobility, among others. Yet, buildings are usually designed and set up as finished permanent objects, reflecting the one constant scenario in mind of defined form, function, and performance. Since change is increasingly inevitable in our life, enlarging buildings’ adaptive capacities in response to arising variables and changing conditions over their lifecycle becomes a necessity in seeking global sustainability demands. The concept of building adaptability has been a notable subject in this respect, increasingly stimulating and proposing regenerative alternatives to today’s often obsolete buildings. This paper critically reviews the existing body of knowledge on the concept of adaptability in building research. The main focus is made on the evolution of the concept interpretations and related paradigms, and on the development of its applications and strategies in the light of promoting models and trends. Drawing on the literature as a source of evidence, the paper analyzes and classifies the content of existing studies published in scientific journals and gray literature, focusing on a timeframe from 2015 up-to-date. Moreover, the paper aims to build a constructive discussion to identify potential gaps between the actual state of the art and emerging needs, which should be addressed by further research.
