Abstract

En 中文

• Review identifies trends and gaps in façade material use for UHI mitigation. • The relationship between façade material properties and UHI effects is evaluated. • Best strategies vary by local climate conditions. • Studies often use simple models, short periods, and miss real complexities. • Hybrid, real-world, multi-season, life-cycle approaches are recommended.
