They are highly efficient buildings that can generate enough energy to meet their demand using renewables. Photovoltaics (PV) is a cost-effective way of generating renewable energy in buildings. Additionally, PV modules can be more than generation systems and be an essential part of the buildings, contributing to their appearance, thermal performance, and daylight harvesting. New policies and regulations around the world encourage the use of PV and bring more flexibility for their integration in buildings. Therefore, it is fundamental for regulators, researchers, and building professionals, to have a comprehensive PV in buildings categorization. As a response, the objective of this work was to develop a classification for building attached photovoltaics (BAPV) and building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). The classifications resulted from an extensive literature review that helped to identify relevant aspects, criteria, and gaps in previous categorizations. It considers the application type, location, opacity, accessibility from the inside, and heat dissipation (a missing parameter in prior works). After summarizing the existing categories, describing the findings, and explaining the proposed classifications, the authors illustrated them using zero-energy houses.","PeriodicalId":35178,"journal":{"name":"WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44097584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It considers three environmental factors (climate, relief and rise in sea level) and one anthropogenic (use of land), with greater importance given to the latter, as the intention is to work with the premise of being a built-up area, as is the case with Playa del Carmen, Mexico. For each factor, the following variables were considered: (1) Relief: frequency of depressions and form type, depending on their morphological features; (2) Climate: with the Modified Fournier Index; (3) Rising sea level: with the modelling of sea level rise, potentiometric surface level and distance from the coast; and (4) Use of land: differentiated by the secondary zoning of the urban development program and land population co-efficient of occupation. For the relief factor, the most vulnerable areas were identified at the north and southern extremes of the urban area with a frequency of 30 to 37 depressions and a predominance of sinkholes and sinkholes-uvalas. The Modified Fournier Index is from 198.46 to 200.74, with a distribution of high vulnerability to the south-east; the land use factor shows high to very high vulnerability distributed throughout most of the city. a sea rise projection of 1 to 3 m is identified in the first 2 km with respect to the coastline, at a distance from the coast of 1 to 3 km and a constant potentiometric surface level for the entire study area. Finally, the uses are designated as commercial, residential tourism, high housing and mixed uses.","PeriodicalId":35178,"journal":{"name":"WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47191205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zimba","doi":"10.2495/sc220121","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2495/sc220121","url":null,"abstract":"Cities across the world are increasingly at risk of environmental challenges, including extreme weather events. The experiences and therefore the responses to such challenges are highly varied. Through the lens of the southern urban critique, such differences are also evident between cities in the global south and global north since “southern cities are socially, materially, culturally, politically and/or historically different from northern cities”. Although this is the case, scholars and practitioners have often ignored such apparent differences when theorising, planning and implementing responses to climate impacts. Oftentimes, such obfuscating of the differences risks maladaptation. This is particularly critical since climate impacts are fundamentally shaped through the processes that create the city. Hence, the differences in the processes across cities vitally entails differences in the impacts experienced and observed, and therefore differences in the responses. This paper aims to demonstrate how adaptation to climate change is governed and implemented in Malawi’s cities. Using a postcolonial approach, it firstly discusses the historical and contemporary production of risk to floods in “informal” settlements. Further, it draws attention to how citizen participation is operationalised in policy planning and implementation processes in addressing urban flood risks. Taking a qualitative approach, the research employed document analysis, focus group discussions and interviews with community leaders, officials from both government agencies and departments and non-governmental organisations working on flood risk management in “informal” settlements in Lilongwe city. The findings foreground how responses to climate change and extreme weather events are at once informed and thwarted by historical and contemporary governance processes across spatial scale. This paper, therefore, affirms the need to adopt the southern urban critique approach in theorising, planning and implementing responses to climate change","PeriodicalId":35178,"journal":{"name":"WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49058281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
