Climate Change Impacts and Mitigations for the Built Environment It is more and more known the fact that buildings must be designed for future climate conditions. Wetter winters and sudden, heavy downpours make it even more important to direct rainwater and meltwater away from houses. Meanwhile, Energy transition is a pathway to transform the global energy sector from a fossil-based to a zero-carbon system. Future building will have highly demanding challenges and require an integrative and holistic approach to all aspects affecting energy performance, comfort and health. This special issue provides a platform for recent research in exploring the impacts of climate changes on buildings and which mitigating technologies and approaches can be most appropriate.
