Climate Resilient Buildings: Thermal Resilience through Adaptive Strategies

Climate Resilient Buildings: Thermal Resilience through Adaptive Strategies explores the urgent need for a paradigm shift in architectural design to address the growing challenges posed by climate change and energy instability.The book emphasizes the importance of thermal resilience, which involves designing buildings that maintain safe indoor conditions during extreme heat, cold, humidity, and power outages.It advocates for an integrated approach combining passive strategies, advanced materials, renewable energy systems, and digital tools such as modeling, optimization, and digital twins.Through detailed case studies and empirical research, the book demonstrates how buildings can function as adaptive thermal systems, interacting with their environment and energy networks to ensure year-round resilience.It serves as a useful resource for professionals, students, and policymakers involved in shaping the built environment under climatic and energy stress. Highlights the critical role of
