TL;DR: In this article, a field measurement was conducted in Singapore to investigate the thermal impacts of rooftop garden, and it has been confirmed that rooftop gardens contribute thermal benefits to both buildings and their surrounding environments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of 8 different vertical greenery systems (VGSs) installed in HortPark to evaluate the thermal impacts on the performance of buildings and their immediate environment based on the surface and ambient temperatures.

TL;DR: In this article, a mobile survey was conducted to explore both the severity of UHI effect and cooling impacts of green areas at macro-level in Singapore Islandwide temperature distribution was mapped relying on data derived from the mobile survey.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the DoE-2 energy simulation program to determine the effects of rooftop gardening on the annual energy consumption, cooling load and roof thermal transfer value of a five-story hypothetical commercial building in Singapore.

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.
