Intro: Building energy consumption is a primary driver of the indoor-outdoor interaction mechanism. We aim to explore its impact on the urban thermal environment and quantify the biases caused by the inventory approach - the most widely used approach to estimate anthropogenic heat emissions.

Intro: Building-integrated photovoltaic technology (BIPV) has been proven as an effective way to increase renewable energy and achieve low carbon in the urban environment. Due to the lack of modelling tools, the impact of BIPV window in the street canyon has not yet been well understood. In this series, we conducted three studies to explore the BIPV window impact on canyon air temperature and energy performance in different urban settings in cities.

Intro: Building energy consumption constitutes 40% of global energy usage and closely correlates with the outdoor microclimate, so it is crucial to delve into the indoor-outdoor interaction mechanism. Firstly, by considering building energy usage as a primary driver within this mechanism, we aim to explore its impact on the urban thermal environment. Secondly, we investigate the influence of Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) windows, a renewable energy technology that interfaces with indoor and outdoor environments. Our research will examine the effects of BIPV windows on building energy consumption, urban climate, and the dynamics of indoor-outdoor interaction.

Intro: This series marked the beginning of my research journey as an undergraduate student, where I focused on studying the patterns of climate extremes and their connection to urbanization. I aimed to understand how human activities impact the distribution of climate extremes over time and space. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my co-authors, particularly my supervisors and teammates, for their unwavering support and invaluable guidance throughout this research journey.
