About this document

Heatmat: Simulation of City Material Impact On Urban Heat Island Effect by cs18b024 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document presents HeatMat, a novel approach for simulating the impact of urban materials on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect using only open data sources like OpenStreetMap and street-view images. It describes a pipeline that estimates building facade materials through a vision-language model and utilizes a 2.5D heat transfer simulator that achieves a 20x speedup compared to traditional 3D simulations. The study aims to provide city planners with insights into material selection to mitigate UHI effect
