Predicting species potential and future distribution has become a relevant tool in biodiversity monitoring and conservation. In this data article we present the suitability map of a virtual species generated based on two bioclimatic variables, and a dataset containing more than 700,000 random observations at the extent of Europe. The dataset includes spatial attributes such as: distance to road...

Abstract Energy consumption in school buildings and improving their energy efficiency is an important research issue. This study aims to investigate the behaviour of Greece, based on date construction technical characteristics, before after implementation various bioclimatic intervention scenarios them subsequent estimation cost according typology. The method followed collection data evolution ...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contribution urban morphology formation microclimatic conditions prevailing within outdoor spaces. We studied compact form a city and examined, at detailed, street plan level, elements related air temperature, ventilation, individual’s thermal comfort. All examined are directly affected by both availability open green field study took place in typ...

Abstract Athens’ extensive urbanisation, lack of green areas and the extreme heat caused by increasingly frequent waves indicate need for actions improving indoor outdoor comfort, which is closely related to energy consumption buildings. This work’s aim create a carbon neutral block in Athens on 2050 horizon. The optimization block’s form based principles environmental design climatic analysis ...

Species distribution models (SDMs) are an effective way of predicting the potential distribution of species and their response to environmental change. Most SDMs apply presence data to a relatively generic set of predictive variables such as climate. However, this weakens the modelling process by overlooking the responses to more cryptic predictive variables. In this paper we demonstrate a mean...

Two ecologically and economically important, and threatened Dipterocarp trees Sal (Shorea robusta) and Garjan (Dipterocarpus turbinatus) form mono-specific canopies in dry deciduous, moist deciduous, evergreen, and semievergreen forests across South Asia and continental parts of Southeast Asia. They provide valuable timber and play an important role in the economy of many Asian countries. Howev...

Aim To introduce Gaussian mixture distributions and sequential maximum a posteriori image segmentation (GM-SMAP) as a model that predicts species ranges from mapped climatic variables, and to compare its predictive capacity with two commonly used bioclimatic models: regression tree analysis (RTA) and smoothed response surfaces (SRS). Location North-west North America. Methods We compared models...
