    Abstract : Urbanization is one of the great challenges in the 21st century. Despite being an engine for the global economy, urban areas consume 78% of World's energy and emit more than 60% of greenhouse gas emission. Sub-SaharanAfrican cities, e.g. READ MORE

  6. 4. Energy Savings by Using Daylight for Basic Urban Shapes : With a Case Study of Three Different Street Types

    Author : Bengt Sundborg; Tigran Haas; Jan Ejhed; Ulf Ranhagen; Barbara Matusiak; KTH; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; daylight; energy; climate; urban design principles; urban pattern; street grid; Arkitektur; Architecture;

    Abstract : During winter the sun is in short supply. But research at KTH shows that solar radiation can be facilitated while energy consumption for lighting is reduced. This provided that the buildings are appropriately designed. But, unfortunately, the sunlight is often not taken into account and the results are the opposite. READ MORE
