DC 13: Innovative Applications of EGs in Densely Urbanized Areas: study of their potentiality in Mitigating Subsurface Urban Heat Islands.

Host Institution
University of Perugia (Italy)
Main Supervisor
Aim

The main objective is to examine the role of EGs in mitigating underground urban climate changes (Subsurface Urban Heat Islands – SUHI), enhancing the understanding and practical implementation of EGs for sustainable energy management and climate change mitigation.

Specific Objectives
  1. Development and validation of advanced numerical models to simulate the behaviour of EGs in various scales.
  2. Integration of advanced constitutive models to describe the interactions between ground and EGs accurately.
  3. Assessment the effectiveness of EGs in mitigating subsurface urban heat islands (SUHIs) and their potential for District Heating and Cooling networks.
