TL;DR: In this paper, the state of the art in terms of local climate change and urban heat island mitigation techniques are presented in detail, in particular developments in the field on highly reflective materials, cool and green roofs, cool pavements, urban green and of other mitigation technologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and analytical study for the assessment of the angular reflectance of retro-reflective films was conducted. And the experimental results were used to determine an original analytical model which describes the optic-energy behavior of retroreflective materials.

TL;DR: In this article, the angular reflectance of retroreflective (RR) films for several inclination angles of solar radiation was measured in order to quantify cooling potential of RR materials in terms of energy reflected and sent beyond the urban canyon, and the experimental characterization and energy evaluations showed that RR materials could be effectively applied as coatings on urban paving and building envelope, to reduce the circulating energy into the canyon.

TL;DR: In this paper, an inner volume of 25 l has been designed, built and installed to form hydrates by injection of water through spray nozzles from the top of the methane-filled reactor.

TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative methodology is proposed to mitigate Global Warming by artificially enhancing earth's Albedo, which can be directly quantified in terms of CO 2eq offset.
