| dc.description.abstract | A phenomenon known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect occurs where the air and surface temperatures are hotter than in their rural surroundings (Gartland, 2008). The UHI effect is a direct result of urbanisation whereby the urban fabric comprises mainly of roofs, paved surfaces and less vegetation (Santamouris, 2007). The mitigation of UHI can be achieved by increasing the albedo of surfaces and by planting trees in urban areas (Rosenfeld et al., 1995, Boriboonsomsin and Reza, 2007). | |
