Conventional impervious pavements have dark surface and large thermal inertia. During summertime they tend to absorb and store solar radiation but negate the evaporative …
The quality of life of millions of people living in cities could be improved if the form of the city were to evolve in a manner appropriate to its climatic context. Climatically responsive urban …

The flux density of sensible heat to or from storage in the physical mass of the city is determined for seven cities (Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; Mexico City, Distrito …
Y Qin, JE Hiller - Energy and Buildings, 2014 - Elsevier
The idea of using cool pavements to mitigate the urban heat island has gained momentum recently. Many studies have focused on the temperature of a cool pavement, whereas …

Heat flux at the air/ground interface was observed and analyzed for various pavement materials on summer days. The surface temperature, heat storage and its subsequent …
An objective hydteresis model to predict the storage heat flux in urban areas is presented. A review of observational and theoretical work reveals this approach to be more approproate …
Diurnal variation in soil heat flux is a key constraint on the amount of energy available for sensible and latent heating of the lower troposphere. Many studies have demonstrated that …
