Evaluation and thermal performance of cool pavement under desert weather conditions: Surface albedo enhancement and carbon emissions offset

Evaluation and thermal performance of cool pavement under desert weather conditions: Surface albedo enhancement and carbon emissions offset

Surfaces such as pavement, buildings, and other heat-absorbing surfaces that store more heat than natural vegetation generate the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. Temperatures are known to be significantly higher in urbanized areas compared to rural ones.The application of a reflective surface treatm...
