Taming Torridity New Housing Forms for Heat Resilience
… work imagines new building forms that foster resilience to extreme heat through social proximity, housing heterogeneity, and novel space cooling strategies. As we move into a new climate paradigm of increased weather variation and higher temperatures, extreme heat events will become more …

Linking GIS, youth environmental literacy, and city government functions to define and catalyze community heat resilience planning in Roanoke, VA
Statistics show that chronic heat exposure and extreme heat waves are the leading cause of death amongst natural disasters in urban spaces across the United States, outpacing the likes of more notable phenomena such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes. Heat in urban spaces is not distributed …

Investigating temperature signalling pathways in Arabidopsis thaliana using small molecules
Upon exposure to heat or cold, Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings undergo rapid transcriptional reprogramming of several hundreds of genes that promote stress tolerance. Despite extensive characterisation of the transcriptional responses to these stimuli, however, relatively little is known about the …

Cooling with less: Design and simulation of multifunctional building components for a material-efficient, heat-resilient architecture
… intensifies, designing affordable buildings for heat resilience and with low carbon emissions becomes crucial. Conventional air conditioning (AC) systems, although often an effective and accessible cooling solution, are energy-intensive and typically fail to consider local climatic and urban …

HOW HEATWAVES ARE CHANGING URBAN LIVABILITY ACROSS THE UNITED STATES: A CASE STUDY IN TEN COMMUNITIES
<p>Heatwaves are an important type of extreme climate event and directly result in more than 130 deaths and thousands of morbidities per year across the United States. Heat waves increase demands on water and energy, particularly in urban areas, because people use more water for drinking, …
