Simulating microclimate adaptation: Evaluating heat mitigation strategies for Doha, Qatar, under current and future climate conditions by Omer Abedrabboh (17346847)

“…The scenarios are based on four heat mitigation strategies: (1) Green infrastructure, including extensive and intensive green roofs and facades, increased tree canopy cover, and introduction of an urban park, (2) cool and super cool materials for roofs, facades, and pavements, (3) urban morphology modifications, increasing building heights, and (4) shading structures. …”

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. …”
