| Subcommittee on Heat Island | |
| NEWS | |
| Newsletter Volume 5 is now available. | |
| PURPOSE | |
| The proposal of urban heat island countermeasures was announced by the AIJ in August 2005. The sub committee is much more expected to give scientific evidence of heat island countermeasures toward the society. Heat island phenomena are caused as results of interaction between various factors. Therefore, urban heat island countermeasures must be enforced comprehensively from wide viewpoint. The subcommittee will examine the urban heat island phenomena which are caused by various factors and scales. The subcommittee will also propose effective measures toward social enterprises, such as administration and local government. | |
