– The “Green ground” mitigation strategy allows an appreciable UHI maximum
intensity decrease only in point 2 (around 1 °C): in all other points the positive
effect of the action is quite negligible;
– During the day (afternoon) the most effective mitigation actions are “Green
ground” and “Green ground + cool pavements”: they allow till 3 °C decrease in
UHI intensity;
– During all the other seasons, but especially in winter, the most effective UHI
mitigation strategies (“Cool pavements” and “Green ground + cool pavements”)
cause a negative effect during the central hours of the day: UHI intensity becomes
negative, that is air temperature in urban zone id colder (about 0.5 °C) than in
rural zone.
