Quantification of thermal resilience in buildings: Evaluation of Building Envelope Performance and Operational Parameters

Climate change and extreme heat are critical issues which have been faced all over the world. Consequently, designers strive to monitor and assess the performance of facades by developing environmental assessments at the early design stages, since design changes do not require many resources. Rapid urban expansion in many parts of the world is...

Agent-based modelling and simulation for quantification of resilience in air transport: The effects of a sudden and unexpected bad weather disturbance on conventional approach operations

Socio-technical systems consist of deeply interconnected and interdependent social entities and technical systems that collaborate to achieve a global goal. The individual characteristics and behaviours of each involved actor and their interactions define the resulting overall emergent system behaviour. Due to increased complexities in socio...
