The impact of different types of permeable pavement utilization on air temperature above the pavement

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This study investigate permeable pavement utilization and its impact on air temperature by using site measurement, statistical analysis, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. National Central University (NCU) main library is the case study for the simulations. Simulations on five pavement types (dense grade asphalt concrete/DGAC, permeable asphalt concrete/PAC, concrete, permeable interlocking concrete block/PICB, and grass block) shows that grass block and PICB can reduce air temperature, while three others increase air temperature.
