Simulation Study of Thermal Effects of Vegetation Covered Sand dune mounds within the Landscape around Urban Structures in the UAE by Al-Yaqoob, Dana

“…The results of the research showed that application of trees in a natural and diverse arrangement while still having a mix of different vegetation types around the urban areas is the most effective strategy in tackling excess heat in urban areas. Also, increase in edge compactness and shape complexity of vegetation can decrease surface temperatures and progress the exchanges between vegetation and built-up areas. …”

Circular economy application for a Green Stadium construction towards sustainable FIFA world cup Qatar 2022™ by Abathar Al-Hamrani (16494884)

“…Therefore, sustainable construction became a hot topic, which strives to reduce material consumption, limit constructional waste disposal, and decrease contribution to climate change. In line with Qatar's commitment to organizing a sustainable FIFA World Cup in 2022, this study aims to conduct an environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) for the construction of the Education City Stadium. …”

Rebound effects undermine carbon footprint reduction potential of autonomous electric vehicles by Nuri C. Onat (14779093)

“…In this study, we investigate tradeoffs between improved fuel economy and rebound effects from a life-cycle perspective. Our results show that autonomy introduces an average 21.2% decrease in operation phase emissions due to improved fuel economy while manufacturing phase emissions can surge up to 40%. …”
