Temperature reduction pinch analysis (TERPA): application of pinch analysis for tree planting targeting

The global climate change as a result of rapid development is an important environmental problem nowadays. Concern about climate change are leading to the requirements to curb the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect by different type of tree planting strategy. The electricity consumption in a building fo...

Concern about climate change are leading to the requirements to curb the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect by different type of tree planting strategy.

TERPA is capable in rooftop planting targeting, vertical planting targeting as well as tree planting targeting through graphical representation. Rooftop planting and vertical planting is considered as zero land area consumption due to the fact that those planting is done within the building and no need extra land which tree planting in need of it.
