Abstract:

Purpose In the light of projected climate change impacts on buildings and their occupants, climate change adaptation for built environment to climate change is crucial. The risk of overheating is a key concern, particularly given its effect on heat-related health problems for elderly people. The purpose of this paper is to propose, test, and evaluate the strategies for climate change adaptation to minimise present and future risks of overheating for a new purpose-built care home and extra care accommodation near York.

Abstract:

Recent climate change projections estimate that the average summertime temperature in the southern part of Great Britain may increase by up to 5.4°C by the end of the century. The general consensus is that projected increases in temperature will render British dwellings vulnerable to summer overheating and by the middle of this century it may become difficult to maintain a comfortable indoor environment, if adaptation measures are not well integrated in the design and operation of new dwellings, which are likely to remain in use beyond the 2050s. The challenge is to reduce overheating risks by

Abstract:

The global climate is warming rapidly, with increasing frequency of severe events including heatwaves. Building insulation standards are improving to reduce emissions, but this can also lead to more overheating. Historically, UK house designers have not included adaptation measures to limit this. Most studies of the problem have had limited geographical or future climate scope. This study considers the comfort performance of a small modern house, in detached, semi-detached, and terrace (row) forms, but otherwise identical.

Climate change means that buildings must greatly reduce their energy consumption.

Abstract:

This paper presents the comparative anatomical and morphological characteristics of plants of two subgenera: <em>Haworthia</em> and <em>Hexangularis</em>. The study revealed two different strategies of adaptation to arid conditions of the growth of different subgenera of the genus <em>Haworthia</em>. Plants of the subgenus <em>Haworthia</em> adapted to arid conditions by increasing the accumulation of water, the presence of “windows”, a smaller stoma size, and a thinner outer wall of the epidermis cells. On the other hand, plants of the subgenus

Abstract:

The thermal effect of the working environment, leading to overheating of the body of workers, can manifest itself as thermal injuries, accompanied by a deterioration in well-being, a decrease in working capacity, and various health disorders. In addition, an increased air temperature can become a trigger for the activation of biological effects caused by other industrial factors— noise, vibration, harmful chemicals, physical exertion, the combined effect of which has a potentiating effect. The aim of the work was to analyze the literature data on the study of the negative impact of the heating

Abstract:

In this study, we investigated the association between weather type (WT) and urban heat island intensity (UHII) in the region of Attica (Greece). The application of the methodology resulted in ten WTs over the Attica region. The UHII was calculated for every hour of the day from 2008 to 2017, using a new air temperature dataset produced by Copernicus Climate Change Service. To obtain more definitive findings about the relationship between WTs and UHII, we also used the upper 5% of UHII (urban overheating, UO). UO was estimated for two time intervals (daytime and nighttime) and for the warm per

The overheating of buildings and their need for mechanical cooling is a growing issue as a result of climate change. The main aim of this paper is to examine the impact of surface texture on heat loss capabilities of concrete panels through evaporative cooling. Organisms maintain their body temperature in very narrow ranges in order to survive, where they employ morphological and behavioral means to complement physiological strategies for adaptation. This research follows a biomimetic approach to develop a design solution. The skin morphology of elephants was identified as a successful example

Abstract:

Abstract In polymorphic mammalian species that display multiple color forms, those with dark, or melanic pelage would be prone to overheating, especially if they live in warm climates, because their fur absorbs solar energy at a higher rate. However, experimental studies indicate that certain physical properties of fur of dark individuals appear to prevent, or minimize heat stress, although it is not clear what properties do so. Here, we tested the possibility that black-furred individuals simply have shorter or thinner hair fibers, which would create a lighter (in terms of weight) coat or one

AbstractThe worldwide distribution of honeybees and their fast propagation to new areas rests on their ability to keep up optimal ‘tropical conditions’ in their brood nest both in the cold and in the heat. Honeybee colonies behave like ‘superorganisms’ where individuals work together to promote reproduction of the colony. Social cooperation has developed strongly in thermal homeostasis, which guarantees a fast and constant development of the brood. We here report on the cooperation of individuals in reaction to environmental variation to achieve thermal constancy of 34–36 °C. The measurement o
