Incorporating practical applications of storm water control into vocational education : case study the joint authority of education in the Espoo region Omnia : landscape gardening studies
(2022)Climate change has brought about increased awareness of the issue of stormwater control methods and created a need for landscape garden professionals to be ever more skilled and knowledgeable about stormwater control. ... -
Integrating photovoltaic systems and green roofs : exploring green roof design options with photovoltaics to enhance urban climate and foster social integration : an exemplary case study in Dresden city
(2024)The rapid pace of urbanization has intensified the issues of overheating and the urban heat island effect, leading to deteriorated urban climates and weakened social cohesion. This thesis ventures into a novel solution: ... -
Linking ecosystem health and services of novel green network for climate change adaptation
(2021)The beneficial services of Green Network in mitigating climate change impacts for the urban area are widely acknowledged. Due to social and economic demands in Green Network implementations, it has been challenging to ... -
Live pole drains for cities (LPD4C) : an easy-to-build nature-based solution (NbS) alternative to conventional sustainable drainage systems (SuDS)
(2022)Rapid urbanization and the intensification of weather events due to climate change are only some of the drivers altering the water cycle in urban environments. Consequently, the total volume of stormwater runoff rises ... -
Local climate adaptation in high altitude cities : the case of 12 high altitude cities
(2021)This paper investigates the local climate adaptation in 12 high altitude cities. It tries to find out the factors that determine local climate adaptation in high altitude cities by statistically testing 30 potentially ... -
Mapping Thermal Hotspots in Malé, Maldives : Assessing the Relationship Between Urban Heat Islands, Climate, and Heat Risk for Sustainable Urban Planning
(2023)This study aims to support climate-conscious urban development in greater Male’, Maldives, based on characterizations of the local microclimate. It explores intra-urban temperature variations, identifies heat risks and ... -
Methane emissions mapping : analysing modern techniques for accurate assessment and monitoring
(2023)This bachelor's thesis explores the current state of methane emissions and investigates different techniques used for mapping and quantifying these emissions. Methane significantly contributes to global warming and climate ... -
Multicriteria heat vulnerability assessment for the metropolitan region of Toulouse (FR)
(2022)Based on key findings of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), “It is virtually certain that hot extremes (including heatwaves) have become more frequent and more intense across most land regions”. Within this context, ... -
Optimization Of The Urban Microclimate For Building Energy Demand And Thermal Comfort Under Climate Change
(2023)Buildings in the EU are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of GHG emissions. This means that a major contribution from the construction and building sector is required to achieve the climate neutrality targets ... -
Planning for a cooler future : heat risk assessment and mitigation in Lahti
(2024)With the rapidly changing climate, heat risk is increasing rapidly in colder regions as well. Finland is projected to see higher rise in temperatures than the global average and thus needs to be prepared to mitigate these ... -
Plot allocation using developer obligations as a tool for more sustainable construction : housing developers´ views on the energy and sustainability criteria used in Finnoo, Espoo
(2023)Municipalities following the national and international goals are now trying to find effective methods for limiting climate warming. In Finland over one third of the emissions and consumed energy come from the built ... -
Prediction of outdoor thermal comfort changes and uncovering mitigation strategies based on machine learning algorithm : a decision support tool for climate-sensitive design : a case study of Glasgow, UK
(2022)Cities are becoming increasingly warm as a result of climate change and increasing population (Dimoudi et al., 2013). It forewarns severe weather and climate catastrophes happening considerably sooner than initially ... -
Quantifying the effect of anthropogenic and climate parameters on urban heat island using machine learning
(2022)The intensity of UHI in today's developed areas indicates the extent of environmental modification. Replacing natural surfaces with artificial materials has been the main difference between rural and urban areas. Therefore, ... -
Re-valuing canals : Valuation of ecosystem services provided by the Smart Canal project
(2020)The primary purpose of this work was to provide a new view of the role canals can play in cities. In Glasgow city, canals were held highly for its role in shaping the industrial image of the city during the industrial ... -
