Overview
Heat island monitoring is crucial for cities to manage rising urban temperatures and improve public health. Urban heat islands, areas significantly warmer than surrounding regions due to human activity, can increase energy consumption, elevate pollution levels, and worsen heat-related illnesses. By monitoring heat islands, cities can identify high-risk zones, plan cooling strategies like green spaces and reflective surfaces, and reduce the burden on public infrastructure. Tracking temperature variations helps city planners design more sustainable, climate-resilient environments. and informs policies to protect vulnerable populations, particularly during heatwaves, and contributes to long-term climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. The Rongwen sensor enables accurate monitoring of temperature in multiple locations. which can detect temperature and humidity to inform analaysis of Heat islands.
