Question
what can reduce the urban heat island effect? additional air conditioning units rooftops covered with plants
Brief Explanations
Plants on rooftops (green roofs) can absorb less heat compared to traditional rooftops. They also release water vapor through transpiration, which cools the surrounding air. Additional air - conditioning units, on the other hand, release heat as a by - product (from their compressors and condensers), which would contribute to the urban heat island effect.
