Numerical modeling of the influence of tree canopy on the outdoor natural ventilation of buildings at Jurong Industrial Park area mitigation of unban heat island effect

Urban heat island effect (UHI) is developed along with the rapid urbanization and increase in urban population. Natural ventilation is an ideal idea to improve the airflow both within and outside the buildings and lowering the temperature. It is considered as one of the UHI mitigation measures to im...
