Changes in year-round air temperature and annual energy consumption in office building areas by urban heat-island countermeasures and energy-saving measures

Metropolitan Residents’ Preferences and Willingness to Pay for a Life Zone Forest for Mitigating Heat Island Effects during Summer Season in Korea

“…Many prior studies show that road size influences albedo, the reflection coefficient is one of the main contributors for increasing the temperature in urban areas [37,[41][42][43]. Thus, we included per car road size as the other attribute to be presented to the respondents for the choice experiment.…”

Analysis and Evaluation of Holistic Energy Saving for Modern Buildings

“…With the increase of building energy saving demand, the variation of distribution proportion of every part of building enclosure is also becoming large, as shown in Table 1 [6]. Therefore, in different energy saving stages, the methods should be taken according to the heat consumption distribution of every part of building enclosure, in order to reduce its heat consumption and ensure the total heat consumption demand of the whole building.…”

Clima, sociedad, riesgos y ordenación del territorio

“…Scott (1994) y Huang (1986 documentaron para ciudades de Estados Unidos, un impacto significativo del consumo de energía en edificios debido a las fluctuaciones del clima, esto debido a las condiciones climáticas que juegan un papel decisivo en el consumo de electricidad (Sailor, 2009). Las estimaciones de los modelos climáti-cos relacionan los parámetros climáticos con el consumo de electricidad residencial (Ihara, 2008), y sugieren una sensibilidad nominal de 2-4% por cada grado Celsius de aumento de las temperaturas (Sailor y Pavlova, 2003). do como la principal causa del cambio climático global.…”
