Geo-Intelligent Solutions for Urban Heat Island (UHI) Detection and Mitigation Framework
IEEE AccessUrban areas often experience elevated temperatures compared to their rural surroundings, leading to the phenomenon of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This is a growing environmental concern driven by rapid urbanisation, turning cities into heat traps.

NIR reflective pigments to mitigate the urban heat islands effect (UHIE) [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 For building applications, coatings are needed in order to obtain an attractive appearance and protection against the outdoor environments. Buildings are responsible for consumption of cooling energy. Cool coatings applied over buildings surface provide an effective solution for passive cooling of building indoors and influencing local outdoor ...

The urban heat island of Basel – seen from different perspectives
DIE ERDE: Journal of the Geographical Society of Berlin, 2014 For decades thermal infrared satellite imagery has been used for climate studies of a variety of geosystems, including urban areas. Additionally, airborne thermal remotely sensed data can provide high resolution information about urban land surface ...

ANALYSIS OF THE INTRA-CITY VARIATION OF URBAN HEAT ISLAND AND ITS RELATION TO LAND SURFACE/COVER PARAMETERS [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 Along with urbanization, sealing of vegetated land and evaporation surfaces by impermeable materials, lead to changes in urban climate. This phenomenon is observed as temperatures several degrees higher in densely urbanized areas compared to the rural ...
