Optimization of the Distribution of Green Buildings Based on Urban Heat Island Effect

Abstract

Green buildings are an important constituent part of the urban ecosystem; they act as an adjuster of temperature and humidity of the environment in cities, and can effectively alleviate the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. Existing studies on the UHI effect generally ignored the local information in the changes of the UHI effect, and the impact of the optimization of green building distribution on the UHI effect hadn’t been taken into consideration. To fill in this research gap, this paper aims to study the optimization of the distribution of green buildings based on the UHI effect. At first, this paper adopted a high-precision radiative transfer model to invert the temperature of earth surface in cities, and accurately calculate the UHI effect. Then, this paper analyzed the changes in the UHI effect caused by the optimization of the distribution of green buildings and the response of human activities, and used the time variation law of the single pixels of green buildings to reflect the spatial variation law of the UHI effect. At last, experimental results gave the optimization results of the distribution of green buildings based on the UHI effect.
