TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a systemic modelling approach to the problem of how best to adapt cities is especially challenging as urban areas will evolve as the climate changes, and examine adaptation strategies for cities requires a strong interdisciplinary approach involving urban planners, architects, meteorologists, building engineers, economists, and social scientists.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the effects of various urban greening scenarios based on urban climate simulations across the Paris area and show that increasing the ground cover has a stronger cooling impact than implementing green roofs on street temperatures, and even more so when the greening rate and the proportion of trees are important.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended the evaluation of the Building Energy Model (BEM) implemented in TEB and evaluated it on five buildings representative of the morphological and thermal characteristics that can be encountered in European urban areas.

TL;DR: In this paper, a measurement set up developed for millimeter wave characterization of passive or active quasi optical components such as filters, polarizers, amplifiers or multipliers is presented.

TL;DR: It is found that perception of thermal comfort is only slightly linked to the different microclimate dimensions, and is rather driven by other appreciation factors and emotional criteria related to the general environmental quality of the study area.
