Diagnóstico de estrategias para mitigar la isla de calor empleando pavimento pigmentado

Abstract

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is the increase in ambient temperature generated by constant urbanization and massive building. The pavements are important receivers of solar radiation, which leads to an increase in the internal temperature, as well as affecting their useful life. This article summarizes the research carried out so far on the use of new technologies of pigmented and cold pavements, their benefits, advantages and disadvantages, when controlling the temperature of the pavement and mitigating the UHI. The pigmented and cold pavements, if they diminish the probability of appearing it and in certain cases it improves the properties of the mixture, comparing it with a traditional design.
