Title
Modeling Effects of Urban Heat Island Mitigation Strategies on Heat-Related Morbidity: A Case Study for Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Description
This established model is applied here to show the relative effects of four common mitigation strategies: increasing the overall (1) emissivity, (2) percentage of vegetated area, (3) thermal conductivity, and (4) albedo of the urban environment in a series of percentage increases by 5, 10, 15, and 20% from baseline values.
