Developing Heat Mitigation Strategies in the Urban Environment of Sydney, Australia
Buildings, 2022 Heat island effects raise the ambient air temperature in metropolitan areas by 4–5 degrees Celsius and can reach 10 degrees Celsius at their maximum. This phenomenon magnifies cities’ energy difficulties while reducing comfort. Mitigation strategies have
