Multiscale modelling of urban climate

Climate has a direct impact on cities' energy flows due to the space conditioning (heating, cooling) needs of the buildings accommodated. This impact may be reinforced due to climate change and to the (so called) urban heat island effect. The corresponding ...

From the neighbourhood to the city : resource flow modelling for urban sustainability

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi, Diane Perez, Adil Rasheed, Urs Wilke, Philippe Leroux

Agreed intergovernmental targets to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases due to predominantly urban anthropogenic activities are becoming increasingly stringent; one might even say ambitious. One crucial strategy in achieving these targets will be to im ...

Towards an evolutionary model of city sustainability

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson, Adil Rasheed, Nataliya Filchakova

In part stimulated by the computer game industry, reasonable progress has been made in the dynamic modelling of urban growth and land use change. However, sustainability considerations in this work remain to be addressed. Yet the environmental impact of ci ...

On the Sensitivity of Building Performance to the Urban Heat Island Effect

Darren Robinson, Alain Clappier, Adil Rasheed

Current practice in building simulation is to use historic climate data which has been measured in rural locations. However, numerous measurement programs have demonstrated that the urbanrural temperature difference can be of several degrees Kelvin, with c ...
