The global boom in urbanization and infrastructure, especially in developing countries, has
resulted in the urban heat island (UHI). This recent review analyzes the current development …

To mitigate urban heat islands (UHI), heat-reflective pavement coatings reflect solar
radiation, significantly cooling urban surfaces. However, their effectiveness is compromised …

Previous studies of the effects of regional climate conditions on urban heat islands (UHIs)
focused mostly on surface UHIs, whereas few considered canopy layer UHIs. In the present …

There is an increasing demand for urban form optimization to mitigate urban heat island
(UHI) effect under the background of global climate change and urbanization. However …

Surface urban heat island (SUHI) can considerably influence the urban environment and the
quality of life. It is vital to examine how underlying surface properties impact seasonal and …

Scientific research on Urban heat islands (UHI) and urban. overheating has set new
challenges for societies regarding risk and vulnerabilities, energy demands and mitigation …

Abstract The Urban Heat Island phenomenon is an increasingly important global issue.
Understanding the physical characteristics of cities is critical, which is why many studies …

Growing evidence highlights a strong link between urban densification and urban heat
island (UHI) effects. However, there is a lack of research on time-based analyses of urban …

Despite building energy use being one of the largest global energy consumers, building
energy simulations rarely take the actual local neighbourhood scale climate into account. A …

Differences in urban context can lead to distinct local microclimates. The data provided by a
single weather station are insufficient for evaluating residential thermal conditions and the …
