Analysis Methodology to Mitigate the Urban Heat Island Effect in the City of Cuenca with Emphasis on Concrete Pavements

Abstract:

It is evident that the consequence generated by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) in medium-sized cities with a population of more than 600,000 inhabitants generates a decrease in comfort for the user of the road network due to the increase in temperature and the difficulty of dissipating it. In the city of Cuenca there is a large number of urban roads that are rigid pavement and currently construction and maintenance projects are being generated for them, so it is necessary to seek solutions in the execution of concrete to reduce the UHI effect. The research comprehensively has two approaches: qualitative and quantitative-experimental. In the qualitative approach, the method of systematic review supported by meta-analysis of data is used to contrast information from secondary sources of case studies worldwide in Urban Heat Island, and through an outline the most common methods will be exposed. appropriate to reduce …
