Research on evaluation methods for technologies to reduce the heat island effect in urban areas
In urban areas, living environments are being adversely affected by vast amounts of manmade heat emissions and reductions in green areas ｧ\ this is resulting in a situation known as the heat island phenomenon. In order to contribute to the promotion of measures to reduce the heat island phenomenon, which greatly impacts upon urban infrastructure, we are developing rooftop greening measures, technologies to improve heat entrapment in road and pavement surfaces, securing water and green areas in urban conurbations, and a range of simulation technologies to counter urban heat escape. We also calculate the necessary costs of the various countermeasures to reduce heat and decrease the amounts of energy used. |
