Effect of Sampietrini Pavers on Urban Heat Islands [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 Cool pavements are reflective and/or permeable pavements that improve microclimate of urban areas where heat islands cause discomfort to citizens. Stone pavements lower surface temperatures and reduce the amount of heat absorbed. This study assessed, using ENVI-met 4.3 LITE software, how air temperature and predicted mean vote depend on physical ...

Effects of Urban Redevelopment on Surface Urban Heat Island
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023 Urban expansion and urban redevelopment can affect the surface urban heat island (SUHI) phenomenon, a major topic in the study of urban climates. The effects of urban expansion on SUHI have been studied by numerous researchers, while the effects of urban redevelopment remain unclear.
