A New Method to Alleviate the Heat Island Effect by Reversibly Used Cooling Tower

Abstract

With the accelerating process of urbanization, the heat island effect has become a hot spot of concern. The heat island effect seriously affects the city's thermal environment, energy consumption, and the health of the citizens. Therefore, how to alleviate the urban heat island effect has become the main direction of current scholars. This paper mainly introduces the causes and harms of the heat island effect. Reviews the strategies and research progress of mitigating the heat island effect in recent years, a new idea of reversibly used cooling tower to solve the heat island effect is proposed.
