amitigation of the urban heat island effectwith special focus on vegetation, green roofs, cool roofs and airflow between buildings. The interactions between vegetation, the microclimate, and the urban environment have been studied by many authors [18,19]. Studies by Niachou et al. [20], ...
Globally, the deteriorating Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect poses a significant threat to human health and undermines ecosystem stability. UHI mitigation strategies have been investigated and utilized extensively within cities by the provision of green, blue or gray infrastructures. However, urban land ...
Addressing the urban heat island effect requires a multifaceted approach that encompasses urban planning, green infrastructure, and community engagement. Urban planners can incorporate measures such as green roofs, reflective pavements, and urban green spaces to mitigate the heat island effect and promote...
- How insulation, growing media, and plant selection of green roofs should be calibrated in different climates to maximize their effect on building energy use?- How green roofs can contribute to urban heat island-mitigation in different climates?Answering these research-questions, this study ...
Legendary climatologist Arthur Rosenfeld recently told the website SolveClimate that painting roofs white in cities could help reduce the urban heat-island effect. "Some would say it's worth doing for that alone," he said. Hot potato Moreover, the urban heat-island effect could exacerbate summe...
Low carbon districts: Mitigating the urban heat island with green roof infrastructure - ScienceDirect S Lehmann - 《City Culture & Society》 被引量: 0发表: 2014年 Investigations into mitigating the heat island effect through green roofs and green walls This thesis investigates the thermal effect ...
Mitigation of the urban heat island (UHI) effect at the city-scale is investigated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in conjunction with the Princeton Urban Canopy Model (PUCM). Specifically, the cooling impacts of green roof and cool (white/high-albedo) roof strategies ov...
This can be achieved through targeted investments in green infrastructure, affordable housing with energy-efficient design, and the inclusion of community voices in decision-making processes. In conclusion, mitigating the urban heat island effect is a complex and multifaceted challenge that requires a ...
