Cement Particle Boards and Urban Heat Island Effect: A Passive Cooling Strategy

Cement Particle Boards and Urban Heat Island Effect: A Passive Cooling Strategy

The rise in urban temperatures due to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect has become a growing concern for city planners, architects, and environmentalists. As concrete, asphalt, and steel dominate modern cities, they absorb and retain heat, causing urban areas to become significantly warmer than their rural surroundings. To counteract this, passive cooling strategies are essential—and this is where cement particle boards can play a surprisingly effective role.
