| Abstract/Contents: | "High temperatures in urban areas as a result of development is described as the heat island effect, and that directly affects communities by increasing energy demand for air conditioning as well as contributing to heat-related illness such as heat stroke and hyperthermia. The radiation balance of the surfaces typically used in urban areas plays a fundamental role in their thermal regime. Traditionally, homeowners have preferred urban landscapes composed primarily of natural turfgrass lawns, which may require supplemental water to maintain vitality and aesthetics. Given pressures to conserve potable water supplies, many cities now offer rebate programs which incentivize removal of turfgrass and conversion to alternative landscapes, with the goal of reducing outdoor water use. Although numerous studies have been conducted to characterize the impact of green spaces on urban temperature, few have focused on short vegetation cover, such as grasses. The major objective of this study is to measure the radiation balance of different materials commonly used in urban landscapes, including 1) St. Augustinegrass Lawn (Grass), 2) Hardwood mulch (Mulch), 3) Decomposed granite (DG), and 4) Artificial Turf." |
