The surface urban heat island (SUHI), which represents the difference of land surface
temperature (LST) in urban relativity to neighboring non-urban surfaces, is usually …

Energy services in and related to buildings are responsible for approximately one-third of
total global final energy demand and energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. They also …

Urban heat island (UHI), the phenomenon that urban areas experience higher temperatures
compared to their surrounding rural areas, has significant socioeconomic and environmental …

The predicted extreme temperatures of global warming are magnified in cities due to the
urban heat island effect. Even if the target for average temperature increase in the Paris …

The interaction between microclimate and buildings is predominant in urban areas. Thus,
the urbanization constitutes the main cause of UHI formation. During the last years, several …

Rapid 21st century urbanization combined with anthropogenic climate warming are
significantly increasing heat-related health threats in cities worldwide. In Los Angeles (LA) …

The canopy layer urban heat island (CLUHI) and surface urban heat island (SUHI) refer to
higher canopy layer and land surface temperatures in urban areas than in rural areas …

In this work the analysis of the surface and air heat island in Milan, Italy, by means of satellite
maps is proposed. The urban heat island (UHI) maps were produced using data provided by …

Understanding the diurnal dynamics of surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) is an
indispensable step towards their full interpretation at multiple time scales. However …

Urbanisation generates greater population densities and an increase in anthropogenic heat
generation. These factors elevate the urban–rural air temperature (T a) difference, thus …
