The Impact of Anthropogenic Heat on Formation of Urban Heat Island and Energy Consumption Balance

Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of anthropogenic heat on formation of urban heat island (UHI) and also determines which factors can directly affect energy use in the city. It explores literally the conceptual framework of confliction between anthropogenic heat and urban structure, which produced UHI intensity and affected energy consumption balance. It then discusses how these two factors can be affected and gives implication to the city and then focuses on whether actions should be taken for balancing ada… Show more

“…For the two most commonly used impervious materials (concrete and mixed asphalt), both of them had a higher variability and wider extent in temperature likely due to the heterogeneity of imperviousness surfaces. This heterogeneous characteristic is determined by many factors such as thermal properties and anthropogenic activity [62,63]. Interestingly, concrete was warmer than asphalt during the noon and evening, but appeared cooler in the morning.…”

“…The most significant of this change are variations in thermal characteristics of the area. Thus, built up areas tend to have land surface temperatures (LST) higher than surrounding suburban environment [8] [9]; and these thermal differences are contributing to the development of microclimatic condition otherwise referred to as the urban heat island (UHI) [1] [2] [10] [11]. Numerous studies [9]- [14] which have studied the relative effects of land use/Land cover change (LULCC) on LST have always found a positively correlated result with imperviousness.…”

“…The main reasons for the difference in temperatures of various cities are the heat balance and water balance (Ming et al, 2014). These are affected by the transformation of the earth's surface into concrete and asphalt, causing a quick dry off precipitation (Shahmohamadi et al, 2011). Other causes include the surface roughness which has increased due to the construction of buildings, the heat supplied by the domestic of combustion that aggravate the air quality in the city (Carter et al, 2015).…”
