Abstract

Global warming is a prevalent issue across the surface of the Earth. One such issue that exacerbates global warming is the Urban Heat Island Effect, which is the increased temperature of cities relative to their surrounding areas. In order to combat these issues, the RUG seeks to utilize its assets and provide mitigation practices. Among these practices are vegetated rooftops, and applying PV-panels to roofs. The RUG thus seeks insight into the effects of these methods in order to most effectively implement them. This report thus garnered data on each practice, then went a step further to provide insight into the effects of combining both methods. The results yielded the facts that although each method presents strong positive effects on their own, the ideal pathway for the RUG is to combine both methods and reap the benefits of both simultaneously, while benefitting from the emergent effects displayed in the integration.
