Concrete Urban Buildings, Neighbourhoods Can Heat Up Microclimates in Cities: Here's How
New method of modelling urban building energy takes into consideration heat waves in urban cities and how human-caused parameters aggravate it. It studies the heating pattern of urban cities during city-wide heat waves. The research is based on a case study conducted in Los Angeles, California, during a five-day heatwave event in September 2009.
