Spatial factors influencing building age prediction and implications for urban residential energy modelling

Urban energy consumption is expected to continuously increase alongside rapid urbanization. The building sector represents a key area for curbing the consumption trend and reducing energy-related emissions by adopting energy efficiency strategies. Building age acts as a proxy for building insulation properties and is an important parameter for...

Planning reform beyond planning: the debate on an integrated Environment and Planning Act in the Netherlands
