Educational building retrofit under climate change and urban heat island effect
, 2021Climate change (CC) and urban heat island (UHI) are important environmental forces that have serious consequences for the existing buildings, such as increased resource consumption and environmental footprint , adverse human health effects and reduced ...

Potential benefit of photovoltaic pavement for mitigation of urban heat island effect
, 2021Pavements in roadway and parking lots occupy large urban areas and contribute to the development of urban heat island (UHI). Photovoltaic (PV) pavement can use PV panels on conventional asphalt concrete (AC) pavement to harvest solar energy at light ...

Positive effects of vegetation: Urban heat island and green roofs
Environmental Pollution, 2011This paper attempts to evaluate the positive effects of vegetation with a multi-scale approach: an urban and a building scale. Monitoring the urban heat island in four areas of New York City, we have found an average of 2 °C difference of temperatures between the most and the least vegetated areas, ascribable to the substitution of vegetation with man ...

Effects of urban form on the urban heat island effect based on spatial regression model.
Science of the Total Environment, 2018The urban heat island (UHI) effect is becoming more of a concern with the accelerated process of urbanization. However, few studies have examined the effect of urban form on land surface temperature (LST) especially from an urban planning perspective ...

Assessment of the Effects of Urban Heat Island on Buildings
2020Climate change and global warming have been indisputable as supported by mounting evidence of more extended, severe, and frequent occurrences of extreme weather events (EHEs), in particular, summertime heatwaves in recent years. EHEs often interact with buildings in urban area centers, which are densely packed by building blocks with vulnerable ...
