Concrete summer jungle – how to save kilowatts and combat urban heat? Green infrastructure is the answer. Take a look at the cooling effect of greenery in cities, such as parks, urban trees, green walls and green roofs on the video below 👇 Greenery will reduce urban heat island areas in the cities, at the same time saving your money for cooling. #GreenInfrastructure #UrbanHeatIsland #SustainableCities #GreenRoofs
Our video from last summer is making the rounds again 🌳 And we get why — heatwave season is just around the corner. As far as solutions go, urban trees are pretty impressive: they can cool their surroundings by up to 12°C. If you go outside during a heatwave, you'll notice a big difference in temperature between streets lined with trees and bare concrete pavements exposed to the sun. That's because trees provide shade and bring moisture back into the air, cooling the surrounding areas. And that’s exactly why we're planting urban trees, from LA to London: https://lnkd.in/du9_KZqp #urbantrees #trees #heatwave
