Australian Local Government Areas (LGA) failure to meet their infill development targets, results in 30% urban tree canopy benchmark depletion. Under-performing green targets lead to hotter treeless suburbs dramatically triggering a need to pioneer effective long-term energy conservation approaches. This paper evaluates standard energy rated dwelli...
A significant shift towards consolidating residential neighbourhoods has dramatically influenced the Australian national urban tree canopy benchmark. Recurrent tree planting, in densely settled residential suburbs, is an insufficient, emerging environmental and long-term energy conservation strategy. A global and Australian original research review...
Energy–efficient dwellings promote substantial urban energy conservation. Residential tree allocation, as an Urban Heat Island (UHI) mitigation strategy, stimulates climate responsivity, lowers Air Conditioner (AC) usage and heat distribution. This paper evaluates dwellings’ response to residential tree planting parameters to assess the building–su...
Integrating urban climate knowledge into building design and urban planning practice have been proven to be the best effective approach in mitigating Urban Heat Island (UHI) and unexpected hot days. Climate-conscious design needs to be implemented in structural and environmental development of any city components to improve microclimate and human w...
