The Albedo of Pervious Cement Concrete Linearly Decreases with Porosity
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015 Pervious pavements have been advocated as a potential countermeasure to the urban heat island effect. To understand if pervious pavements stay cooler than conventional pavements, the albedo of the pervious concrete must be understood. This study measured
