URBAN ISLAND By : mayumi ono

What is the urban heat island effect? Metropolitan area Warmer than nearby rural areas made from living and non-living things in its surrounding -construction materials are good heat insulators

What factors contribute to the information of the UHI? area for expansion Waste heat Population Pollutants pumped into the air closer proximity of building around urban areas.

What are the negative effects of the UHI? Increasing summertime peak energy demand Air conditioning costs Air pollution Green house gas emissions Heat related illness and mortality Water quality

What can we do about this problem?

Green Roof includes plants and vegetation. harness the same evaporative cooling effect that -cities lose this when they hack away vegetation
