The effectiveness of cool and green roofs as urban heat island mitigation strategies
Mitigation of the urban heat island (UHI) effect at the city-scale is investigated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in conjunction with the Princeton Urban Canopy Model (PUCM). Specifically, the cooling impacts of green roof and cool (white/highalbedo) roof strategies over the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area during a heat wave period (7 June–10 June 2008) are assess...
متن کاملUrban green space and stress
This research is part of the Scottish Government’s GreenHealth project. It asks if there is a link between green space and stress in deprived urban communities. Overall, it finds evidence that more urban green space is favourably associated with lower levels of selfreported stress and reduced physiological stress, as indicated by diurnal salivary cortisol patterns in a sample of middle-aged men...
متن کاملSocial benefits of urban green space
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the topic “urban green space” focusing on its social benefits and measure techniques in terms of monetary value and accessibility. It suggests potential research direction by using an integrated valuation and measurement framework, and concludes that urban green space valuation in the providers’ perspective as well as accessibility analysis in th...
متن کاملPositive effects of vegetation: urban heat island and green roofs.
This paper attempts to evaluate the positive effects of vegetation with a multi-scale approach: an urban and a building scale. Monitoring the urban heat island in four areas of New York City, we have found an average of 2 °C difference of temperatures between the most and the least vegetated areas, ascribable to the substitution of vegetation with man-made building materials. At micro-scale, we...
متن کاملEvaluation of cool roof and vegetations in mitigating urban heat island in a tropical city, Singapore
A numerical study with a weather research and forecasting (WRF) model at 300-m resolution shows that Singapore’s canopy-layer UHI intensity has a strong diurnal cycle, peaking in early morning and keeping almost constant during late night and early morning. The modeled ensemble peak UHI intensity is 2.2 C and it can reach 2.4 C during early morning in the intensive industrial region in west Sin...
