Design of smart wetting of building materials as evaporative cooling measure for improving the urban climate during heat waves

An urban microclimate model is used to design a smart wetting protocol for multilayer street pavements in order to maximize the evaporative cooling effect as a mitigation measure for thermal discomfort during heat waves. The microclimate model covers a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for so...
