Urban heat island (UHI) effect poses great challenges to urban environmental quality,
building energy consumption, and public health. Over decades, research efforts have been …

Increase in urban population across the globe has resulted in drastic rise in anthropogenic
activities and urban surface modifications. These contribute to the hike of urban temperature …

Heat transfer in the asphalt pavement is significant because it affects asphalt pavement
performance and the surrounding environment. This importance is attributed to summertime …

Abstract Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon resulting in the increase of ambient
temperature in dense areas of cities in comparison with rural areas. UHI has been …

Urban overheating is an increasing threat to people, infrastructure, and the environment.
Common heat mitigation strategies, such as green infrastructure, confront space limitations …

Abstract Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect causes the increasing energy consumption for
building and environment cooling. Reflective coating is an effective cool pavement …

Asphalt pavements tend to absorb solar energy and accumulate heat, which results in
several negative effects. They contribute to the urban heat-island effect, plastic deformation …

With growing urban populations, methods of reducing the urban heat island effect have
become increasingly important. Cool pavements altering the heat storage of materials used …

In the last few decades, researchers have sought ways to counterbalance the effect of the
urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon of increased urban temperatures resulting from …

The growth of the population in cities and the increase in the use of construction materials
caused the cities' internal temperature to increase, producing the effect known as urban heat …
