... landscapes in question; however, the main challenges of modeling urban thermal environments are the scale and resolution at which to perform such tasks. Current modeling of urban thermal environments is typically limited to either mesoscale (1 –2000 km) or microscale (<1 km) phenomena. In the present work...

The significant and unintentional decline of fossil fuel use, while harmful to the transportation business, has had subsequently positive impacts on the environment because of reduced emissions, as discussed in Refs. [ 18 , 19 ]. The industrial...

...K. Balaji The research collection aims at finding the various possible opportunities for the effective integration of shallow geothermal energy (SGE) to decrease the energy demand in the built environment and to reduce emission associated with it. The integration of SGE with heat pump using pipe...
