Simulating the influence of microclimatic design on mitigating the urban heat island effect in the Hangzhou metropolitan area of China

There are many indications that Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a significant contributor to the increased emission of greenhouse gases due to the increase in energy consumption for cooling during summer. Hangzhou is currently the second hottest city in China, and this paper investigates how the West Lak...
