Heat Wave Resilience at Urban Climate Scale 

Over the last decades, the impact of climate change on the urban climate and performance of buildings has been of increasing interest.

The first lecture would detail a multiscale approach to studying UHI, ranging from city scale to local urban scale using coupled meteorological and urban microclimate models. It would later present different mitigation scenarios for urban overheating during heatwaves. Join us for this exciting lecture by Prof. Jan Carmeliet, Professor and Chair of Building Physics, ETH Zurich! 

Vegetation, such as street trees, grassy areas and even balcony and roof plants, plays a role in regulating outdoor urban conditions. The lecture aims to elucidate the impact of plants and develop shading and evaporation systems that are inspired by plants.
