\u2014 a phenomenon called the \u201curban heat island,\u201d often referred to as the UHI effect \u2014 can lead to dangerous temperatures in the summer months, but new Penn State research suggests that certain urban factors can reduce this effect.<\/p>\n<p>The study found that trees had a cooling effect on outdoor air temperature, mean radiant temperature and predicted mean vote index, a measurement designed to evaluate thermal comfort levels.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the researchers determined that higher building-height-to-street-width ratios \u2014 when taller buildings create shade for thinner adjacent streets \u2014 as well as pavement that is better at reflecting sunlight, or having higher \u201calbedo,\u201d both led to lower mean radiant temperature and greater comfort levels.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enn.com\/articles\/72599-strategic-city-planning-can-help-reduce-urban-heat-island-effect\">ENN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a
