چکیده
The ongoing climate change is manifesting itself through the increasing expansion of Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects. This paper evaluates microclimate benefits due to cool road pavements, greenery, and photovoltaic canopies in a parking lot Fondi (Italy), identifying best strategy counteract negative effects UHIs. ENVI-met software allowed microclimatic analysis examined area July 2022 comparison thermal performances between current asphalt pavement ten alternative scenarios. proposed layouts were investigated terms air temperature (AT), surface (ST), mean radiant (MRT), predicted vote (PMV). results showed that existing worst one, while integrated with vegetation provides appreciable benefits. Compared layout, new scenario characterized by light porous concrete for carriageable pavements sidewalks, grass grid pavers stalls, 2-m-high border hedge, 15-m-high trees implies reductions AT above 3 °C, ST 30 MRT 20 maximum PMV value equal 2.2.

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 کاملReduction of Urban Heat Island Effect through Harvest of Heat Energy from Asphalt Pavements
Asphalt pavement surfaces contribute significantly to the urban heat island effect. Their relatively high temperature, caused by absorption of solar energy, results in emission of heat to the surrounding air, leading to a rise in its temperature, deterioration of its quality, and an increase in energy consumption of the surrounding buildings. The proposed concept is that the heat from the pavem...
