The greening of urban environments plays a crucial role in mitigating the adverse effects urbanization, such as air pollution and heat island effect, can provide numerous benefits to residents, including opportunities for leisure improved mental health. On other hand, there is great demand utilize renewable energy systems cities mitigate greenhouse gas emission. Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology one most promising solutions harvest clean electricity on-site support zero carbon transition cities. combination BIPV green spaces presents mutually advantageous scenario, providing multiple optimized land usage. However, despite its potential, dearth scientific research systematically examining this integrated strategy. This paper investigated three key aspects related integration greenery environments. Specifically, aimed explore: 1) overall design considerations performance impacts greenery; 2) challenges involved integrating these two systems; 3) prospects approach. methodology comprehensive review analysis examination was conducted from various perspectives, shading, irrigation, performance, aesthetics, materials, installation. principal findings are twofold: firstly, yield beneficial outcomes; secondly, cooling effect on primarily hinges distance between components surrounding microclimate. These underscore potential coupling with greening, positioning it sustainable approach future building development.

Abstract Bifacial photovoltaics (BPVs) are a promising alternative to conventional monofacial given their ability exploit solar irradiance from both the front and rear sides of panel, allowing for higher amount energy production per unit area. The BPV industry is still emerging, there much work be done until it fully mature technology. There limited number reviews technology, focus on different aspects BPV. This review comprises an extensive in-depth look at applications throughout all current major applications, identifying studies conducted each outcomes, focusing optimization systems under comparing levelized cost electricity, integrating use with existing such as green roofs, information electrical modeling, well providing future scope research improve technology help industry.

Densely built areas are affected by higher air-pollutant concentrations, representing a significant risk to public health. At the same time, urban settlements have remarkable environmental impact: cities responsible for 70% of annual carbon emissions while buildings account 37% global energy and process emissions. Moreover, people living in frequently exposed extreme micro-climate conditions caused heat island effect, related increased external air temperature peculiarities environment. Given this framework considering Sustainable Development Goals, it is necessary point out some effective strategical mitigation measures ameliorate conditions, reduce pollutants concentration enhance building performance. This paper investigates potential advantages green roofs as retrofitting solutions tree planting on several parameters particulate matter concentration, an industrial district located Italy using ENVI-met software. The influence extensive roof performance further investigated at level recurring Design Builder models. Results showed that could up 1.5 °C, outer surface 15 °C wind speed 50% compared current state conditions. application let also achieve savings 15% both summer winter seasons. Focusing effect matter, intensive proved be more efficient capturing pollutants.

Urban parks have significant cooling effects, which can both mitigate the urban heat is-land effect and are crucial to sustainable development of human habitat. Although studies been conducted explore influence park morphology on parks, they not sufficiently in depth. Therefore, this paper took 117 central city Chengdu as research objects based perspective quantitative classification morphology. Then, remote sensing interpretation, spatial statistics, regression analysis were used, four indicators intensity, distance, area, efficiency integrated different morphological types parks. The results show that (1) could be divided into five categories, among round was best, 0.7. (2) In terms parks’ area perimeter thresholds 30 ha 4000 m, respectively. (3) When reached 70 3000 respectively, increase distance slowed down. (4) best when shape index (indicating complexity boundaries) 2.8. study provide theoretical support for intensive use green space help construction promotion a beautiful livable Chengdu.
