Vegetation as a climatic component in the design of an urban street: an empirical model for predicting the cooling effect of urban green areas with trees

The cooling effect of small urban green wooded sites of various geometric configurations in summer is the object of this study. It was studied experimentally at 11 different wooded sites in the Tel-Aviv urban complex during the period July-August 1996. An empirical model is developed in this study for predicting the cooling effect inside the wooded sites.
