Topic: Climate change, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency: Meeting the challenges of cities in the 21st century
Conference Title: Saving our Cities: Looming Challenges and Data-Driven Policy-Making
Dates: June 17-18, 2022
Venue: Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Lahore, Pakistan
Scientific evidence for the warming of the climate system is unequivocal. We witness climate change through Global temperature rise, ocean warming, decreased snow cover, extreme weather events, ocean acidification, rising sea levels etc. Climate is turning cities into ovens. Cities are heating up; we should prepare ourselves and learn how to keep them cool?
Last month, I presented my work on “Climate change, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency: Meeting the challenges of cities in the 21st century” during a conference at LUMS, Lahore, Pakistan. Proving adequate thermal conditions in buildings and built environments is essential for human health and well-being. By using scientific knowledge and methods, we can improve the thermal performance of buildings while using less energy for heating and cooling.
