Climate change and energy performance of European residential building stocks-A comprehensive impact assessment using climate big data from the coordinated regional climate downscaling experiment

Vahid Moussavi Nik, Yuchen Yang, Kavan Javanroodi

In recent years, climate change and the corresponding expected extreme weather conditions have been widely recognized as potential problems. The building industry is taking various actions to achieve sustainable development, implement energy conservation s ...

Making the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism acceptable and climate friendly for least developed countries

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

Implementation of CBAM to support EU climate neutrality by 2050 has raised concerns. As the mechanism aims to minimise leakage through equal fairness in global mitigation, imposing carbon tariffs on the EU’s imports of energyintensive goods could curtail t ...

Planning for a Changing Climate without Accurate Predictions

Parag Rastogi, Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan

Simulation is an informative tool to plan the design and renovation of engineering systems, but its use requires accurate inputs from the users. Inputs such as the unknown future operating conditions might be expected in a system’s lifetime, e.g., the futu ...

Past and future impacts of climate change on swiss river temperature and discharge investigated with data analysis and numerical modelling

Adrien Michel

This thesis presents the first large-scale assessment of past, present and future impacts of climate change on river temperatures in Switzerland. Water temperature is a crucial factor influencing, among others, the health of aquatic ecosystems, the industr ...

Stabilization of cultural innovations depends on population density: Testing an epidemiological model of cultural evolution against a global dataset of rock art sites and climate-based estimates of ancient population densities

John Richard Walker, Francesco Casalegno, Taylor Howard Newton

Demographic models of human cultural evolution have high explanatory potential but weak empirical support. Here we use a global dataset of rock art sites and climate and genetics-based estimates of ancient population densities to test a new model based on ...

Spatial areas of genotype probability: Predicting the spatial distribution of adaptive genetic variants under future climatic conditions

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Oliver Michele Selmoni

In a context of rapid global change, one of the key components for the survival of species is their genetic evolutionary potential for adaptation. Many methods have been developed to identify genetic variants underpinning adaptation to climate, but few too ...

Climate change now detectable from any single day of weather at global scale

For generations, climate scientists have educated the public that 'weather is not climate', and climate change has been framed as the change in the distribution of weather that slowly emerges from large variability over decades(1-7). However, weather when ...

Exploring the Robustness of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics Renovation Scenarios to Climate Change Perspectives: Results for a multi-family building in the Swiss context

Emmanuel Rey, Émilie Nault, Sergi Aguacil Moreno

Building renovation is one of the main strategies put forth in western countries, where energy regulations are becoming increasingly demanding. Switzerland for example has set the ambitious target aiming at carbon neutrality for 2050. Building-integrated p ...
