The cloud parameterizations of the LMDZ6A climate model (the atmospheric component of the IPSL-CM6 Earth system model) are entirely described, and the global cloud distribution and cloud radiative effects are evaluated against the CALIPSO-CloudSat and CERE ...
Building renovation is one of the main strategies put forth in western countries, where energy regulations are becoming increasingly demanding. Switzerland for example has set the ambitious target aiming at carbon neutrality for 2050. Building-integrated p ...
People spend around 90 percent of their time indoors (home, oce, transportation) in developed countries [1]. This means a long exposure to indoor conditions that have higher concentrations of pollutants compared to outdoors. This exposure can aect the well ...
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of typical European city centers energy demand and supply for present time and 2050, according to the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) climatic scenario A1B. Two multi-family houses are modeled, ...
According to the latest reports of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), tipping pointscould be overshoot between only 1 and 2°C [1, 2]. Therefore fossil-free solutions are needed rapidly,as put by Lenton et al.[3]: If current national pledges ...
To interpret new high resolution climate records it becomes more and more important to know about the succession of climate events. Such knowledge is hard to get especially when dealing with different types of climate archives. Even for ice cores a direct ...
In order to meet the mid-century carbon reduction targets and to mitigate climate change and global warming it is imperative that embodied greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions in the built environment receive immediate attention from policy, industry and acad ...
Embodied carbon emissions during material extraction, production, transportation, building construction, and demolition are irreversible. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that the building sector must be zero carbon by 2050. This ...
Global climate change represents one of the greatest challenges facing society and ecosystems today. It impacts key aspects of everyday life and disrupts ecosystem integrity and function. The exponential growth of climate data combined with Knowledge-Disco ...
