Characterization, Impacts, and Mitigation

Redaktion: Paolini, Riccardo; Santamouris, Mattheos

Beschreibung

Urban Climate Change and Heat Islands: Characterization, Impacts, and Mitigation serves as a go to reference for a foundational understanding of urban-climate drivers and impacts. Through the book's comprehensive chapters, the authors help readers identify problems associated with urban climate change, along with potential solutions. Global case studies are included and presented in a way in which they become globally relevant to any urban or intra-urban environment. The authors call on their extensive experience to present and explore methodologies and approaches to quantifying urban-heat mitigation measures in a clear manner, focusing on heat islands, urban overheating and effects on air quality. - Includes global case studies that demonstrate how to design and implement urban-heat mitigation measures that are area-specific and effective, under both current climate and future conditions - Provides an overview of urban parameterizations in models leading to an improved understating of intra-urban climate variability drivers - Assesses potential heat and air-quality health impacts of excessive heat events and changes in local urban climates
