“…Regarding the assessment of climate change impact, most studies focus on the quantification of heating and cooling demand [7,67,69]. The main contribution of the proposed methodology is the ability to quantify the impact of climate change, in terms of adaptive thermal comfort, in an entire building category representing more than 40% of post-war housing stock from southern Spain, rather than focusing the study on a specific building as is frequently found in the available literature [70][71][72]. Despite some references with similar aims in northern Europe [73], published research on this topic is very limited in the south, where climate change will be most noticeable.…”

Predicting the Impact of Climate Change on Thermal Comfort in A Building Category: The Case of Linear-type Social Housing Stock in Southern Spain

et al. 2019

The Climate Change scenario projected by the IPCC for the year 2050 predicts noticeable increases in temperature. In severe summer climates, such as the Mediterranean area, this would have very negative effects on thermal comfort in the existing housing stock, given the current high percentage of dwellings which are obsolete in energy terms and house a population at serious risk of energy poverty. The main aim of this paper is to generate a predictive model in order to assess the impact of this future climate scenario on thermal comfort conditions in an entire building category. To do so, calibrated models representing linear-type social multi-family buildings, dating from the post-war period and located in southern Spain, will be simulated extensively using transient energy analyses performed by EnergyPlus. In addition, a sensitivity analysis will be performed to identify the most influential parameters on thermal discomfort. The main results predict a generalized deterioration in indoor thermal comfort conditions due to global warming, increasing the average percentage of discomfort hours during the summer by more than 35%. This characterization of the future thermal behaviour of the residential stock in southern Spain could be a trustworthy tool for decision-making in energy retrofitting projects which are so badly needed. To do so, further work is required on some limitations of this model so that different user profiles and typologies can be represented in detail and an economic assessment can be included.

ÖzToday, energy demand has become one of the important problems. The rapid growth of the world population and the development of the industry have increased the need for energy. The vast majority of the world's energy needs come from natural energy sources. But the limited availability of these energy sources has led people to search for renewable energy sources. One of these renewable energy sources is biogas energy. Biogas is a gas mixture of organic substances formed by anaerobic microorganisms under anaerobic conditions at certain temperature conditions. It is flammable due to the presence of methane (CH4) gas in average 65% by volume in the biogas. Other gases outside the methane in the biogas are undesirable gases. Biogas purified from unwanted gasses is the natural gas used today. Biogas production gains importance in terms of disposal of organic materials. Black Sea Region in our country, due to the disadvantage of the geographical location and the lack of settlements has been very difficult to store the landfill. Biogas production in the Black Sea Region is gaining importance in terms of eliminating these wastes and obtaining energy. In this study, biogas potential of kitchen wastes of provinces in Black Sea Region was determined. The highest biogas potential of the Black Sea Region was found to be 51 163.20 m 3 / day in Samsun province. The biogas potential of the kitchen wastes in the Black Sea Region was 296 015.18 m 3 /day. Günümüzde enerji ihtiyacı önemli problemlerden biri haline gelmiştir. Dünya nüfusunun hızlı artışı ve sanayinin gelişmesi enerji ihtiyacını artırmıştır. Dünya enerji ihtiyacının büyük çoğunluğu doğal enerji kaynaklarından sağlamaktadır. Fakat bu enerji kaynaklarının sınırlı olması insanları yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları arayışı içerisine sokmuştur. Bu yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından biri de biyogaz enerjisidir. Biyogaz, organik maddelerin oksijensiz ortamda belirli sıcaklık şartlarında, anaerobik mikroorganizmalar sayesinde oluşan bir gaz karışımıdır. Biyogaz içerisinde hacimsel olarak ortalama %65 oranında metan (CH4) gazı bulunmasından dolayı yanıcıdır. Biyogazın içeriğindeki metan dışındaki diğer gazlar istenmeyen gazlardır. İstenmeyen gazlardan arıtılmış biyogaz günümüzde kullanılan doğal gazın yerini tutmaktadır. Biyogaz üretimi organik maddelerin bertaraf edilmesi açısından önem kazanmaktadır. Ülkemizde Karadeniz Bölgesi, coğrafi konumunun oluşturduğu dezavantajı ve yerleşim yerlerinin az olması nedeniyle mutfak çöplerini depolamak çok zor hale gelmiştir. Karadeniz Bölgesinde biyogaz üretimi bu mutfak atıklarının giderilmesi ve enerji elde edilmesi açısından önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Karadeniz Bölgesindeki illerin mutfak atıklarından oluşabilecek biyogaz potansiyeli belirlenmiştir. Karadeniz Bölgesinin en fazla biyogaz potansiyeli 51 163.20 m 3 /gün olarak Samsun iline ait olduğu bulunmuştur. Karadeniz Bölgesinin mutfak atıklarından üretilebilecek biyogaz potansiyeli ise 296 015.18 m 3 /gün olarak bulunmuştur.

“…It's particularly significant to discuss the influence of climate change on human body's awareness in the perspective of CCI (Odnoletkova and Patzek, 2021). Moreover, conducting long-term CCI evaluation research with daily ground monitoring data for one thing strengthen the understanding of climate change and its influences, and for another provide scientific guidance for the regulation of human settlement assessment, urban and rural planning, climate event response, and the corresponding adaptive strategies (Aminipouri et al, 2019;Dino and Meral Akgül, 2019;Summa et al, 2020).…”

Regional Climatic Comfort Index (CCI) deteriorated significantly due to the climate change and anthropogenic interference. Knowledge regarding the long-term temporal dynamics of CCI in typical regions should be strengthened. In this study, we analyze the temporal and spatial evolution of CCI from 1969 to 2018 in Guangdong Province, based on meteorological indicators, including heat, humidity, wind and cloth loading etc.. Additionally, the population exposure to climate unconformity was examined since 1990 with the help of population data. Our study found that: (1) the warming and humidifying of the summer climate served as the main driving force for the continuous deterioration of CCI, with the comfortable days decreased by 1.06d/10a and the extremely muggy days increased by 2.83d/10a; (2) spatially, the lowest climate comfortability concentrated in southwestern Guangdong with more than 50 uncomfortable days each year, while the climate comfortability in northeastern Guangdong tends to deteriorated whit higher rate, which can reach as high as 6d/10a; (3) in summer, the population exposure to uncomfortable climate highly centralized in the Pearl River Delta, Shantou, Jieyang, and the surrounding areas, and both area and population exposure showed increasing trends. Particularly, Shenzhen held the highest growth rate of population exposure with an increase rate of 2.94 million/10a; (4) although the discomfort distribution and deterioration rate vary across the province, the spatial heterogeneity of comfortability is diminishing in Guangdong Province. This study will provide scientific reference for regional urban planning, thermal environment improvement, local resident health risk analysis, and key strategy implementation, etc.
