Effects of anthropogenic heat due to air-conditioning systems on an extreme high temperature event in Hong Kong

Anthropogenic heat flux is the heat generated by human activities in the urban canopy layer, which is considered the main contributor to the urban heat island (UHI). The UHI can in turn increase the use and energy consumption of air-conditioning systems. In this study, two effective methods for wate...
