The 14-months experiment monitored plant health, reproductive stages, and coverage across nine experimental modules. Results revealed a superior performance of the Mediterranean species compared to <em>Sedum album</em>, with particularly good health and coverage rates of <em>Convolvulus cneorum</em> and <em>Helichrysum italicum</em>, that together <em>Anthemis maritima</em> displayed extended flowering periods, contributing to both aesthetic values. Thermal imaging analysis showed temperature reductions of 2.9–4.4 °C in green roof areas with respect to adjacent concrete surfaces and all planted areas contributed effectively to thermal regulation, with daily temperature fluctuations significantly reduced compared to conventional roofing. The poor performance of the <em>Sedum album</em> challenges its widespread use in Mediterranean climates and highlights the importance of selecting regionally adapted species. This research provides valuable insights for sustainable urban development, demonstrating that Mediterranean perennials can effectively enhance green roof performance while supporting biodiversity and improving thermal regulation in challenging climatic conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9273,"journal":{"name":"Building and Environment","volume":"282 ","pages":"Article 113285"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144329893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Common solutions rely on trees. However, trees can both enhance and deteriorate pedestrian thermal comfort in different areas of a neighborhood and at different times of the day. The objective of this paper is to document and quantify the overall contribution of trees to the pedestrian comfort in an entire neighborhood, with a special attention to cooling. Various vegetation scenarios are applied for a typical North American urban neighborhood, inspired by a neighborhood in Montreal, during a heat-wave period. The study focuses on 6 central urban lots including alleys, streets and a large boulevard, forming an area of 250 m x 300 m, surrounded by 14 urban lots. We use all-physics computational modeling to assess the multifaceted effects of trees at urban scale, using a custom CFD-based coupled solver developed by the authors, urbanMicroclimateFoam, based on OpenFOAM. This urban microclimate model sequentially solves turbulent air flow, heat and moisture transport in porous media, and radiative exchanges. The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) is used to document outdoor thermal comfort. The analysis reveals that trees in ventilation corridors, i.e. streets aligned with the primary wind, reduce average pedestrian comfort in the neighborhood by blocking wind despite providing shade. Conversely, trees in private gardens or in crosswind corridors can enhance both local thermal comfort and overall average pedestrian comfort throughout the neighborhood, thereby improving walkability. The paper highlights the non-local effects of trees over the entire neighborhood.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9273,"journal":{"name":"Building and Environment","volume":"282 ","pages":"Article 113303"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144329894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though, they are widely used, they still show great potential for improvements in energy efficiency and the utilisation of thermal comfort. Therefore, this work presents a full-scale prototype of a novel thermally activated concrete slab with multi-functional heat pipes to mitigate the drawbacks of conventional TABS. The novel TABS provide passive energy-efficient cooling at high thermal comfort by utilising large areas with high homogeneous heat dissipation and great thermal storage capabilities of the concrete components. According to the double-function of the heat pipes for passive cooling and as reinforcement in TABS, construction costs can be reduced and construction processes enhanced. Furthermore, numerical simulations are carried out to identify the effects of material parameter manipulation and different design configurations on the cooling capacity of the TABS. The results can be facilitated to reduce the primary energy demand and the peak power requirement of a cooling system with specially tailored design choices and concrete compositions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9273,"journal":{"name":"Building and Environment","volume":"282 ","pages":"Article 113240"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144314559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study highlights the significance of CE strategies, including design for deconstruction, reuse, digital tools, off-site construction, and stock management. However, broader adoption of existing strategies remains essential. Successful adoption requires policy alignment, CE incentives, stakeholder collaboration, sector-specific guidelines and behavioural changes. The findings highlight gaps in practical interventions, guiding policymakers while benefiting researchers and construction stakeholders.
