Índice de reflectancia solar de revestimientos verticales: potencial para la mitigación de la isla de calor urbana

The artificial condition of an urban environment modifies energy consumption and thermal comfort. The higher temperatures in a city center in relation to peripheral areas, lead to the formation of an urban heat island. Therefore, working on the thermo-physical properties of materials (roofs, floors and facades) is a feasible mitigation strategy to reduce the temperature of a city. The main objective of this project is to study the capacity of 80 regionally available façade coatings to mitigate the negative effects of the urban heat island by determining the Solar Reflectance Index (SRI). The ...
