Empirical evidence on the impact of urban overheating on building cooling and heating energy consumption [PDF]
iScience, 2021 Summary: A primary contributor to urban overheating is the urban heat island (UHI) formed due to increased urbanization. The adverse effects of UHI on building energy use are substantial and well documented.
