Description
"Conventional air conditioning is not a sustainable solution to the challenge of a hot or humid climate. The climate problem is compounded in so-called urban heat islands, urban areas where the air can be 3-5[degrees]C hotter than its surrounding areas and where pollution levels are consequently raised." "Though several books have been written on urban heat islands, this work uniquely examines the linkages between climate, buildings and plants. It forms a reference for researchers and professionals such as architects, architectural scientists, landscape architects, building services engineers, urban planners and urban climatologists. It may also be useful for final year undergraduates or graduate students in these disciplines."--Jacket.
