Enhanced intensification of hourly rainfall extremes due to urban warming in Phoenix, Arizona
The main cause of flash and pluvial floods in cities is short-duration extreme rainfall events. The built environment can either intensify or weaken extreme rainfall intensity depending on the urban fabric that controls the local environmental and climatic ...
2023Downscale methodology: EUCalc to CityCalc
The report describes the implementation of the procedure in EUCalc (KNIME) to develop SwissCalc, ParisCalc and LausanneCalc. The goal is to downscale levers already in EUCalc like biophysical calorie demand per person, daily calories of food wasted and the ...
Zenodo2023Residential density classification for sustainable housing development using a machine learning approach
Dan Assouline, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch
Using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms for classification of the existing residential neighbourhoods and their spatial characteristics (e.g. density) so as to provide plausible scenarios for designing future sustainable housing is a novel application. Here ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021District scale influence of waste heat on the subsurface conditions: a numerical investigation for Chicago
Since the 20th century, the rate of urbanization in the world has been increasing exponentially and will reach 68% in 2050. In parallel with this expansion, the size and activities of cities are also greatly growing. As a result, cities are depleting avail ...
2020A comprehensive approach for the simulation of the Urban Heat Island effect with the WRF/SLUCM modeling system: The case of Athens (Greece)
This study presents a comprehensive modeling approach for simulating the spatiotemporal distribution of urban air temperatures with a modeling system that includes the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and the Single-Layer Urban Canopy Model (SL ...
Elsevier Ltd2018IntegrCiTy - D4.3 Report - Integrated method for systematic scenario generation using multi-objective optimization
Multi-energy networks are going to play an important role in dense areas (cities) for the energy transition and the integration of renewable energy sources [1]. The IntegrCiTy project uses a co-simulation approach at urban scale in order to maximize the pe ...
20183D model discretization in assessing urban solar potential: the effect of grid spacing on predicted solar irradiation
Marilyne Andersen, Giuseppe Peronato
The increasing interest in solar energy production in urban areas requires an accurate simulation of solar irradiation on building surfaces, including vertical surfaces. However, solar potential analyses are usually conducted on 2.5D models, which are limi ...
2018Prosperity and Social Inequalities: Montes Claros, How to Plan an Intermediary City in Brazil
According to international statistics, nearly 50% of the world’s urban population live nowadays in cities of less than 500,000 inhabitants. These small and medium-sized cities play a role of intermediation between rural regions, local economy and more exte ...
2016Roundabouts and City Limits: The Agency of Visual Phenomena
This contribution proposal is based on a photographic campaign I have conducted over the last years on the borders of the Paris metropolitan and more specifically on the science campus located on the agricultural plateau of Saclay. It is supplemented with ...
2015How green are British cities? Scaling relations and CO2 emissions
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni
How green or environmentally friendly urban areas are in comparison with rural areas is a topic that has received much attention in recent years. This is understandable because urban areas already emit around 70% of the global greenhouse gases. This percen ...
