Urban residents face higher health risks because urban heat islands exacerbate HW conditions. One strategy to mitigate negative impacts of urban thermal stress is the installation of green roofs (GRs) given their evaporative cooling effect. However, the effectiveness of GRs and the mechanisms by ...

In recent years, several innovative materials have been developed that capitalize on the benefits of white paint to reflect heat off of buildings and pavements and create cooler temperatures that reduce the use of additional mechanical cooling systems.The Coolest Whitepaint, developed byUNStudio, is ...
Loft extensions are also dangerous, "because you basically make this big black box on your roof and it just soaks up heat", said Mr Marshall. And at the moment there is no requirement to design them in a way to avoid overheating, such as by avoiding too much glass, painting ...
This again helps to reduce heat gain, and so helps to reduce cooling costs. Solar panels Although your roof is not technically the attic, investing in solar is one of the best ways there is to reduce your household electricity bill. Solar panels would be a very big upfront purchase, of ...
In addition, we excluded the areas where the NDVI < 0.05 to reduce the disturbance of the unvegetated area in the central part of the QB [30]. Since the damage to the original remote sensing image in 2003 caused the failed extraction of vegetation regreening information, the average value ...
Carrier realized he'd developed something with far-reaching potential, and it wasn't long before air-conditioning systems started popping up in theaters and stores, making the long, hot summer months much more comfortable [source: Time]. The actual process air conditioners use to reduce the ambi...
However, a summer power outage carries its own set of problems. Foremost are heat-related illnesses and the higher potential of spoilage for your food. Even if you aren’t convinced that hardcore preparedness is for you, it would still be difficult to argue against the possibility of a disast...
