Media and education undoubtedly play an important role in alerting and preparing people from many kinds of natural calamities and disasters. This is especially true for disasters that are caused by climate change. Through media and education people not only become more aware of the changes happening in nature, but are also empowered to minimise the risks associated with it. This chapter discusses several strategies in the domain of media and education to effectively tackle climate change...

This article presents an improved approach for assessing occupant thermal comfort and, in turn, more efficient indoor conditioning. The occupant activity level is an important determinant of required comfort conditions and thus building energy use. For nine volunteers, the activity pattern during typical office days was monitored. Detailed profiles of the occupant activity levels were obtained and, using clustering analysis, divided into "Sedentary" and "Active" groups. Although occupants...

Abstract This study presents the challenges of rapid flooding regime change due to the expansion of built environment across the cities of developing countries based on Addis Ababa as a case study. A hydrological study of the city was conducted using three different land use maps of Addis Ababa digitized from the city map of 1984, 1986, and 2002. The study indicated that the average runoff coefficient of the city increased from 28% in 1984 to 45% in 2002. This indicates that the annual...
