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 ...

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 ...

Investigating the synergies between the Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Heatwaves (HWs)
, 2022 Abstract South Asian cities are now experiencing high-intensity of heatwaves. Heatwaves (HWs) severely threaten human health, particularly in urbanized areas more susceptible to the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Due to climate change, heatwaves are becoming stronger, coupled with the intensity of urbanization, exacerbating the thermal risk ...
