Urban Overheating and Mitigation Research In Australia

Komali Yenneti, Lan Ding, Deo Prasad, Giulia Ulpiani , Riccardo Paolini, Shamila Haddad, Mattheos Santamouris : Urban overheating and cooling potential in Australia: An evidence-based review.  Climate 2020, 8, 126; doi:10.3390/cli8110126

 

Cities in Australia are experiencing unprecedented levels of urban overheating, which has caused a significant impact on the country’s socioeconomic environment. This article provides a comprehensive review on urban overheating, its impact on health, energy, economy, and the heat mitigation potential of a series of strategies in Australia. Existing studies show that the average urban heat island (UHI) intensity ranges from 1.0 ◦C to 13.0 ◦C.
