Responsive Surface Design to Reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI)

Responsive Surface Design to Reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI)

Estrada Calderón, Gibsy Marcela; Becerra Santacruz, Habid

Conference full papers:

The present project aims to influence the reduction of the urban heat island effect (UHI) by designing sensitive surfaces that respond to changes in temperature. This research presents a scenario with a vision of cities with adaptive designs that is generated from the insertion of elements sensitive to the environment (elements that respond to environmental stimuli). Responsive elements become constant factors in small-scale or large-scale design that transform the way environment is changed to a sensitive and resilient urban environment against possible adverse environmental conditions.
