Design optimization of medium-deep borehole heat exchanger for building heating under climate change
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a design optimization of the medium-deep borehole heat exchanger (MDBHE) for building heating under climate change, which helps to robustly reduce energy consumption and cost by 9.3%-44.4% and 3.9%-21.8% respectively.

View through a window may influence recovery from surgery
TL;DR: Surgical patients assigned to rooms with windows looking out on a natural scene had shorter postoperative hospital stays, received fewer negative evaluative comments in nurses' notes, and took fewer potent analgesics than matched patients in similar Rooms with windows facing a brick building wall.

Air pollution and health.
TL;DR: The evidence for adverse effects on health of selected air pollutants is discussed, and it is unclear whether a threshold concentration exists for particulate matter and ozone below which no effect on health is likely.

Cool surfaces and shade trees to reduce energy use and improve air quality in urban areas
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of temperature trends for the last 100 years in several large U.S. cities indicate that, since ∼1940, temperatures in urban areas have increased by about 0.5-3.0°C.

Urban climates and heat islands: albedo, evapotranspiration, and anthropogenic heat
TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of surface albedo, evapotranspiration, and anthropogenic heating on the near-surface climate are discussed, and numerical simulations and field measurements indicate that increasing vegetation cover can be effective in reducing the surface and air temperatures near the ground.
