A review on the development of cool pavements to mitigate urban heat island effect
Y Qin - Renewable and sustainable energy reviews, 2015 - Elsevier
Conventional impervious pavements have dark surface and large thermal inertia. During
summertime they tend to absorb and store solar radiation but negate the evaporative …
