RISForecasting Building Energy Demands With a Coupled Weather-Building Energy Model in a Dense Urban Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Major new metropolitan centers experience challenges during management of peak electrical loads, typically occurring during extreme summer events. These peak loads expose the reliability of the electrical grid on the ...
On the Spatio-Temporal End-User Energy Demands of a Dense Urban Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Buildings in major metropolitan centers face increased peak electrical load during the warm season, especially during extreme heat events. City-wide, the increased demand for space cooling can stress the grid, increasing ...
On the Assessment of a Numerical Weather Prediction Model for Solar Photovoltaic Power Forecasts in Cities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent developments in the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model have made it possible to accurately estimate incident solar radiation. This study couples the WRF-solar modifications with a multilayer urban canopy ...

On the Climate Variability and Energy Demands for Indoor Human Comfort Levels in a Tropical-Coastal Urban Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The main objective of this study is to identify how climate variability and urbanization influence human comfort levels in tropical-coastal urban environments. San Juan Metro Metropolitan Area (SJMA) of the island of Puerto ...
New York City Impacts on a Regional Heat Wave
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTHeat waves are projected to increase in magnitude and frequency throughout this century because of increasing global temperatures, making it critically important to acquire improved understanding of their genesis ...
Adapting to Extreme Heat: Social, Atmospheric, and Infrastructure Impacts of Air-Conditioning in Megacities—The Case of New York City
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Extreme heat events are becoming more frequent and intense. In cities, the urban heat island (UHI) can often intensify extreme heat exposure, presenting a public health challenge across vulnerable populations without access ...
