Two measures that can affectively reduce in the urban heat island effect in this metropolitan area are the land area with greenery and trees and heat deflection systems on the top of buildings.
let us understand what is urban heat island effect?
Urban heat islands form when cities replace natural land cover with dense concentrations of heat-absorbing pavement, buildings, and other surfaces.
This has the impact of raising energy prices (for example, air conditioning), air pollution levels, and heat-related sickness and mortality.
The majority of the temperature risk in metropolitan areas is caused by urban heat islands. Downtowns can be up to 22 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than surrounding places, and they are warming 50 percent faster than the rest of the country due to UHIs.
UHIs are caused by four reasons relating to construction and urban design:
Land use modification (removal of trees and green space and replacement with heat-absorbing materials)
Waste heat (mostly from building and transportation energy use)
Air pollution (UHIs encourage the production of smog, which serves as a heat-trapping barrier)
Geometry or construction in cities
By shading building surfaces, diverting solar radiation, and releasing moisture into the atmosphere, trees, green roofs, and vegetation can assist mitigate urban heat island impacts.
Limit the usage of hard surfaces made of heat-retaining materials. This can be accomplished by eliminating existing hard surfaces or designing new buildings with a reduced proportion of covered space.
