The effectiveness of cool and green roofs in mitigating urban heat island and improving human thermal comfort
X Wang, H Li, S Sodoudi - Building and Environment, 2022 - Elsevier
Urban residents suffer more from heat stress, compared to people living in rural areas, due
to the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Mitigation of UHI is thus essential to improving human …
