Designing out the urban heat island effect
… economic and environmental issues faced by urban places and the people living in them are an ever changing and ever more concerning set of problems. The urban heat island effect can have a detrimental effect on many aspects of an urban dweller's life, and as a key contributor to the …

On the assessment of surface urban heat island
Inwiefern Städte unter den Megatrends der Urbanisierung und des Klimawandels nachhaltig gestaltet werden können, bleibt umstritten. Dies ist zum Teil auf unzureichende Kenntnisse der Mensch-Umwelt-Interaktionen zurückzuführen. Als die am vollständigsten dokumentierte anthropogene Klimamodifikation …

Impact of pavements on the urban heat island
Globally, the rapid pace of urbanization has led to several environmental challenges since the time of the Industrial Revolution. Recently however, unhindered use and modification of natural materials and ecosystems and the resulting consequences have led to a renewed focus on sustainability. Among …

Mitigating urban heat island effects : An analysis of precinct ventilation performance and its impact on urban heat islands and outdoor thermal comfort
… Many cities are suffering the severe impacts of urban climate change via urban heat islands (UHI) effects. Wind is a critical factor for urban temperature regulation. However, the potential of utilising natural wind for UHI mitigation is significantly constrained by the limited knowledge on urban …

AN INVESTIGATION OF REMOTELY SENSED URBAN HEAT ISLAND CLIMATOLOGY
… remotely sensed temperatures are widely used for urban heat island (UHI) studies. However, the abilities of satellite surface and atmospheric data to assess the climatology of UHI face many unknowns and challenges. This research addresses the problems and potential for satellite remotely sensed …

The effectiveness of Urban Green Infrastructure for urban heat regulation.
Excess urban heat is one of the significant challenges for cities, which combinedly occurs and exacerbates with urban heat islands, heatwaves and climate change impacts. It diminishes the quality of urban life and makes cities intrinsically more vulnerable than rural areas. Extreme heat has claimed …

The curious case of urban heat island : a systems analysis
This thesis provides insights into the urban heat island (UHI) effect using a model of the urban microclimate that integrates the urban geometry, anthropogenic heat emission and the rural weather condition. The study builds upon the Urban Weather Generator (UWG), a numerical simulation program …

A Bio-inspired Solution to Mitigate Urban Heat Island Effects
… energy expenditure is attributable to buildings. Urbanization is intensifying these trends with tighter spatial interrelationships among buildings. This is escalating building energy consumption due to the mutual impact of buildings on each other and, as a result, exacerbating Urban Heat Island …

Analysis of Urban Heat Island Intensity Through Air Mass Persistence
… of synoptic weather type research related to urban climate focuses on human health impacts; however, recent studies have begun to quantify urban heat island (UHI) magnitudes by weather type, or air mass classification. This study presents an analysis of UHI intensity through synoptic-scale air …

Design-integrated Urban Heat Island analysis tool and workflow : development and application
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a well-studied phenomenon broadly attributed to human activities that transform open terrain into cityscapes. Among global 21st-century concerns, projected trends in population growth, urbanization, and regional climate change could exacerbate the warming in …

Internet of Things (IoT) application for hydrological measurements: measuring the Urban Heat Island effect
… data collection method for studying the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE). Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) are localised and typically built-up areas, that experience significantly higher temperatures than the surrounding undeveloped areas. This temperature difference is primarily due to …
