Urban Climate Change and Heat Islands: Characterization, Impacts, and Mitigation

Urban Climate Change and Heat Islands: Characterization, Impacts, and Mitigation serves as a go to reference for a foundational understanding of urban-climate drivers and impacts. Through the book's comprehensive chapters, the authors help readers identify problems associated with urban climate change, along with potential solutions. Global case studies are included and presented in a way in which they become globally relevant to any urban or intra-urban environment. The authors call on their extensive experience to present and explore methodologies and approaches to quantifying urban-heat mitigation measures in a clear manner, focusing on heat islands, urban overheating and effects on air quality. Includes global case studies that demonstrate how to design and implement urban-heat mitigation measures that are area-specific and effective, under both current climate and future conditions Provides an overview of urban parameterizations in models leading to an improved understating of intra-urban climate variability drivers Assesses potential heat and air-quality health impacts of excessive heat events and changes in local urban climates INDICE: 1: Urban Climate Change: Reasons, Magnitude, Impact and Mitigation Mat Santamouris 2: Experimental and Monitoring Techniques to Map and Document Urban Climate Change Riccardo Paolini 3: Synergies and exacerbation - Effects of warmer weather and climate change Hassan Khan Mat Santamouris Riccardo Paolini 4: Macro, Meso, and Micro-scale Simulation Techniques to Document Urban Climate Change Negin Nazarian Mathew Lipson Leslie Keith Norford 5: Urban overheating - Energy, Environmental and heat-health implications Mat Santamouris 6: Fighting Urban Climate Change - State of the Art of Mitigation Technologies Jie Feng, Shamila Haddad Kai Gao Samira Garshasbi Giulia Ulpiani Mattheos Santamouris Gianluca Ranzi Carlos Bartesaghi-Koc 7: Environmental Energy and Health Impact of Urban Mitigation Mat Santamouris
