Measuring Temperature Sensor Data in Massachusetts Gateway Cities
Urban areas experience higher temperatures than surrounding non-urban areas due to substantial differences in land-cover, especially impervious surfaces. The presence of an urban tree canopy can regulate and counteract these elevated land surface temperatures, thus reducing energy usage especially during summer peak energy load periods. The Greening the Gateway Cities (GGC) Program, created by the…

Greening the Gateway Cities
Urban areas experience higher temperatures than surrounding non-urban areas due to substantial differences in land-cover, especially impervious surfaces. During times of peak annual temperature, heat waves result in large amounts of energy being expended for home cooling which has implications for greenhouse gas emissions and increased utilities bills for citizens. Due to the cooling properties…
