In this study we analyze the relationship between heat events and mortality in Germany. The main research questions are: Does heat lead to rising mortality and if yes, are the effects persistent or compensated for in the near future? Furthermore, we consider differences between heat effects in...

In this study an attempt is made to investigate the impact of the urban heat island (UHI) effect on the energy consumption of a building using both, an accurate, extensively validated, transient simulation model and a neural network one. The energy consumption is calculated for a typical...
