Urban Heat Island (UHI) Initiative

MEO is part of the International Council for Local Environmental Initiative's UHI Peer Exchange.  Partners works to develop measures that reduce the summer heat build-up and correlating energy cooling costs that exist in urban settings with large areas of dark colored roof space and paved surfaces.   For more information on UHI log on to  www.epa.gov/heatisland.
