Abstract

Research has shown that the urban heat island (UHI) effect can have adverse effects on energy consumption; air-quality (Rosenfield et al., 1998); water-use (Guhathakurta & Gober, 2007); human mortality, morbidity, and thermal comfort (Luber & McGeehin, 2008). As such, an understanding of urban microclimate is needed to design energy efficient cities, alleviate the effects of heat stress, and improve human thermal comfort (HTC).
