Main UHI effects in my urban town: Building stock Excessively reflective cladding material used on the facades Vehicles Air conditioning means Manufacturing plants Road pavement materials Measures: Locate/Relocate the buildings in a better planned layout taking into consideration the actual wind directions prevailing in the town Planting quick-growing trees between the building and in the road islands Installing solar PV cells on the roofs Policy making: Unfortunately the current policies are far away from considering the UHI effects in my town. But in the past, planting and prevailing wind directions were taken into consideration when the town was being first constructed in the modern times.
