SUMMARY:Sustainable Cooling in Cities Seminar Series No. 7 - Shady Attia: When Cooling Heats the City: Heat Pumps, Urban Heat Islands, and 5th Generation District Cooling
LOCATION:Webinar
DESCRIPTION:<h1><span style="font-size:22px;"><b><span style="color:#e67e22;">When Cooling Heats the City: Heat Pumps, Urban Heat Islands, and 5th Generation District Cooling</span></b></span></h1><h1><b><span style="color:#e67e22;">Shady Attia</span></b></h1><p><span style="font-size:16px;">University of Li&egrave;ge</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><span style="color:#e67e22;">Abstract</span></h2><p>This research focuses on the interaction between urban heat islands, building electrification, heat rejection from cooling systems, and the transition from individual air-source systems toward district and fifth-generation cooling networks. He will also discuss how urban morphology and density constraints influence the feasibility and performance of sustainable cooling strategies based on Brussels European Quarter developments.</p><h2><span style="color:#e67e22;">Bio</span></h2><p>Shady Attia is Professor of Sustainable Architecture and Building Technology at the University of Li&egrave;ge, Belgium, and Head of the Sustainable Building Design (SBD) Lab. His research focuses on sustainable cooling, urban heat islands, net-zero carbon buildings, and district energy systems. He is internationally recognized for linking building performance, urban microclimate, and climate adaptation in dense urban environments.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2>
