Our study is evaluating the potential for urban heat mitigation technologies to make a difference to urban temperatures in Western Sydney. We are using advanced methods to simulate microclimates and then assessing the impact of mitigation strategies on thermal comfort, energy consumption, peak electricity demand and people’s health.
Local governments, state agencies and industry can incorporate the results of this study into their planning practices, and objectives towards countering the UHI and climate change.
