Local climate change and urban heat island mitigation techniques – the state of the art

TL;DR: In this paper, the state of the art in terms of local climate change and urban heat island mitigation techniques are presented in detail, in particular developments in the field on highly reflective materials, cool and green roofs, cool pavements, urban green and of other mitigation technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reinforcement learning for energy conservation and comfort in buildings

TL;DR: In this paper, a reinforcement learning controller is developed and simulated using the Matlab/Simulink environment, where the reinforcement learning signal used is a function of the thermal comfort of the building occupants, the indoor air quality and the energy consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Green and cool roofs' urban heat island mitigation potential in tropical climate

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical comparative analysis between green roofs and cool roofs in a tropical climate like Singapore's was done by means of dynamic simulations in EnergyPlus software, taking into account climatological, thermal, optical and hydrological variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implementation of an integrated indoor environment and energy management system

TL;DR: The architecture, the algorithms and the performance results of an integrated indoor environment energy management system (IEEMS) for buildings, installed in two buildings in Athens and in Crete, are presented.
