Journal of the Society of Materials Science, Japan, 2009 It is considered that the heat island phenomenon is generated by temperature rise due to heat release from urban structures which have a high heat absorptance and are warmed by solar radiation during the daytime. Applying solar heat high reflectance paint to the exterior surfaces of urban structures would suppress the increase in temperature, and make ...
