Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…While without adequate ventilation, the overheating risk in high-energy-efficient buildings can be higher than old buildings, where decreasing wall and window U-values and infiltration rate has a greater contribution to the increase of indoor temperature, while decreasing window SHGC has a lower contribution to the decrease in indoor temperature compared to the case with adequate ventilation. …”

Renewable Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions: Evidence from an Oil-Rich Economy by Shahriyar Mukhtarov (19325662)

“…The results reveal that renewable energy consumption has a negative impact on CO₂ emissions, while real GDP per capita has a positive effect. According to the findings, a 1% increase in renewable energy consumption leads to a 0.26% decrease in consumption-based CO₂ emissions, while a 1% rise in real GDP per capita leads to a 0.46% rise in consumption-based CO₂ emissions. …”

Evapotranspiration and water availability response to climate change in the Middle East and North Africa by Salah Basem Ajjur (14150967)

“…Outcomes reveal that the MENA region is indeed vulnerable to a surge in temperature, which can increase evapotranspiration losses and decrease water availability. Under the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP2-4.5), the potential evapotranspiration (PET) has been projected to increase throughout the MENA region by up to 0.37 mm per year during the middle of the twenty-first century (2021–2050) and by up to 0.51 mm per year during the end of the twenty-first century (2071–2100). …”
