The rapid expansion of urban areas and soil sealing is enhancing the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, especially during heat waves. The different thermal inertia of the building materials compared to natural surfaces is one of the major driving factors of UHI. The present contribution aims to test a methodology for mapping the Apparent Thermal Inertia (ATI)-a proxy that can be derived from remote sensing data-of roofing surfaces at the scale of an entire city and with a high spatial resolution.

This article describes the characteristics of one type of sealing system used in warm edge glazing units and analyses the possible causes of damage. Attention was focused on the performance of the dual seal, PIB/silicone system. This type of glazing is widely used for modern curtain walls and roofs of office buildings and shopping centres.

Study Region: This study considers daily time series of 14 years of weather parameters (temperature, wind speed, rainfall, vapor pressure and radiation) for 671 functional urban areas (FUA) across Europe, from a latitude of 35° (Cyprus) to 65° (Finland).
Study Focus: Quantification of urban greening effects usually requires relatively complex and integrated models. In this contribution, we apply well-established hydrological, biomass and energy balance equations to derive meta-models for the estimation of runoff reduction, urban surface heating and thermal protection of buildings, in order to quantify the effects of the greening of 1 m of impervious surface (e.
Enhanced Mechanical Properties of Eucalyptus-Basalt-Based Hybrid-Reinforced Cement Composites.

Department of Machinery Construction, Institute for Nanomaterials, Advanced Technologies and Innovation (CXI), Technical University of Liberec, Studentská 1402/2, 461 17 Liberec, Czech Republic.
The present study describes the manufacturing of flat sheets of eucalyptus-basalt based hybrid reinforced cement composites (EB-HRCC). The potential of basalt fibrous waste (BFW) as a reinforcement agent in cement matrices and its effects on mechanical and interfacial properties were evaluated in detail. Significantly enhanced bending (flexural) strength and ductility were observed for all developed composite samples.

Data Brief
October 2018
University of Brescia, Italy.
Data on temperature-time curves measured at chimney-roof penetration are reported here. The tests were performed in different configurations in order to reproduce all the possible conditions in which a chimney may operate. To do this, a chimney was installed in a corner test structure and in an axi-simmetric test structure, and in three roofs of different thickness, thermal resistance, and layers position.
