A review of assessment methods for the urban environment and its energy sustainability to guarantee climate adaptation of future cities

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Silvia Coccolo, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Vahid Moussavi Nik, Dasaraden Mauree, Emanuele Naboni

The current climate change is calling for a drastic reduction of energy demand as well as of greenhouse gases. Besides this, cities also need to adapt to face the challenges related to climate change. Cities, with their complex urban texture and fabric, ca ...
