Heat waves are reaching our cities more frequently nowadays, leading to the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Measured by the remotely sensed land surface temperature (LST), the effect is frequently called surface UHI (SUHI). In Estonia, the SUHI has been studied little and the LST method has not being used yet in studies of Estonian cities’ microclimate. The analysis clearly reveals that the effect...
Peat land fires monitoring that has the highest accuracy is ASMC with an accuracy rate of 60%. So, it takes a peat land fire detector design, in order to mitigate catastrophic fires in peat land. Peat in Riau Province is generally of woody type, therefor the research focus on woody type peat land monitoring. Sensor LM35 is used for this detection system. This sensor works by using the characteristics...
Urban heat islands cause that built up areas experience warmer temperature than their surrounding rural regions. This issue can adversely affect the energy consumption and public health especially in highly populated cities. The aim of this research study is to characterize the effect and the response of each surface type in the cities to increase our understanding of climate, anthropogenic heat,...
In this work, we propose to study the heat transfer between the ground and shallow basement in the Marrakech city-Morocco. It is a matter of shallow basement of a villa called “Villa Amer Ben Slama”. The concerned part of this villa was modeled by the dynamic simulation software TRNSys using the 1244 type in order to calculate the heating load and cooling one of the studied building. The temperature...
