Role of Landscaping in thermal performance 2024095
Urban Climate Man made environments Changed surface qualities (pavements and buildings) Buildings: casting a shadow and acting as barriers to winds, but also channeling winds possibly with localized increase in velocity or by storing absorbed heat in their mass and slowly releasing it at night Energy seepage: through walls and ventilation of heated buildings; the output of refrigeration plants and air conditioning; heat output of internal combustion engines and electrical appliances; heat loss from industry, especially furnaces and large factories.
