“…The UrbClim model has already been coupled offline to a building energy simulation model to calculate indoor heat stress, based on the WBGT [44]. Here, we present a method to calculate outdoor WBGT values from the UrbClim model results.…”

“…The metabolism of the office staff together with heat dissipation from office lighting and office equipment increase the internal heat of office buildings. With climate change and the intensification of the urban heat island effect, office buildings are particularly vulnerable to overheating [26]. Elevated air temperatures can result in thermal discomfort and this has a negative impact on work efficiency [27][28][29].…”

“…Overheating in residential buildings has been reported in many temperate regions across Europe [11][12][13][14][15]. High indoor temperatures affect the occupant's health, comfort, and productivity where in severe cases can lead to illness and death [16,17]. According to Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) in the UK, the indoor temperature exceeding the maximum threshold of 25°C can lead to an increase in strokes and mortality [18].…”
