Cooling effect of direct green façades during hot summer days : an observational study in Nanjing, China using TIR and 3DPC data (2017)
Journal Article
Thermal regulation is a key ecosystem service provided by direct green façades (DGFs), as vegetated walls absorb short wave radiation, reduce solar re-radiation from hard surfaces, and provide cooling due to shading and evapotranspiration. Few studie... Read More about Cooling effect of direct green façades during hot summer days : an observational study in Nanjing, China using TIR and 3DPC data.
