On the Efficiency of Using Transpiration Cooling to Mitigate Urban Heat
Kai Gao, Mattheos Santamouris and Jie Feng
Trees are considered to be effective for the mitigation of urban overheating, and the cooling capacity of trees mainly comes from two mechanisms: transpiration and shading. This study explores the transpiration cooling of large trees in urban environments where the sea breeze dominates the climate.
