Defining and applying an electricity demand flexibility benchmarking metrics framework for grid-interactive efficient co...
...
Building demand flexibility (DF) research has recently gained attention. To unlock building DF as a predictable grid resource, we must establish a quantitative understanding of the resource size, performance variability, and predictability based on large empirical datasets. Researchers have proposed various sets of theoretical metrics to measure th...
Comparative Analysis of River Waterfront Urban Spaces to enhance social interaction: Case Study of Mamsha Ahl Masr in Ca...
Published in IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
River waterfront is one of nature’s elements which used as an additional buffer separate between the river and area around to create public space to let the society enjoy the riverfront, in general, it’s included parks, walkways, Services, and other enjoyable recreational areas. The paper indicates the principles and the aspects of the riverfront d...
Tracking Environmental and Health Disparities to Strengthen Resilience Before the Next Crisis.
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored how underlying disparities in environmental and health conditions exacerbate vulnerability during public health emergencies in low-income and communities of color. Neglected epidemics-high rates of pollution, chronic disease, and racial and socioeconomic health disparities-have continued amid persistent systemi...
Quantifying the City-Scale Impacts of Impervious Surfaces on Groundwater Recharge Potential: An Urban Application of WRF...
Decades of urbanization have created sprawling, complex, and vulnerable cities, half of which are located in water-scarce areas. With the looming effects of climate change, including increasing droughts and water shortages, there is an urgent need to better understand how urbanization impacts the water cycle at city scale. Impervious surfaces disru...
A tale of urban forest patch governance in four eastern US cities
...
Urban forests are important components of societal interactions with nature. We focused on urban forest patches, a distinct and underexplored subset of the urban forest that spans land uses and ownerships, and requires silvicultural practices to address their unique biophysical characteristics and management regimes. Our goal was to elucidate multi...
Carbon Monitor Cities near-real-time daily estimates of CO2 emissions from 1500 cities worldwide.
...
Building on near-real-time and spatially explicit estimates of daily carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, here we present and analyze a new city-level dataset of fossil fuel and cement emissions, Carbon Monitor Cities, which provides daily estimates of emissions from January 2019 through December 2021 for 1500 cities in 46 countries, and disaggregates f...
Sustainable Earthquake Resilience with the Versatile Shape Memory Alloy (SMA)-Based Superelasticity-Assisted Slider.
...
Earthquakes threaten humanity globally in complex ways that mainly include various socioeconomic consequences of life and property losses. Resilience against seismic risks is of high importance in the modern world and needs to be sustainable. Sustainable earthquake resilience (SER) from the perspective of structural engineering means equipping the ...
Cities are not isolates: To reduce their impacts a change in urban-rural interdependencies and the direction of modernit...
It has become assumed that most humans will live in cities going forward and that they can be made to mitigate their environmental impacts. These assumptions come out of a period that has enjoyed ample energy from fossil fuels, and invisible to most, enormous resource flows from non-urban areas. For cities to reduce their GHGs, that means they must...
Application and evaluation of a pattern-based building energy model calibration method using public building datasets
Building performance simulation has been adopted to support decision making in the building life cycle. An essential issue is to ensure a building energy simulation model can capture the reality and complexity of buildings and their systems in both the static characteristics and dynamic operations. Building energy model calibration is a technique t...
