Construction projects can contribute to mitigating the urban heat island effect by incorporating green infrastructure such as green roofs, green walls, and permeable pavements. These elements help to absorb and retain heat, reducing the overall temperature in urban areas. Additionally, using light-colored materials for surfaces, planting more trees, and creating more green spaces can also help to lower the urban heat island effect by reducing heat absorption and providing shade. Proper urban planning and design that prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency can also play a significant role in mitigating heat island effects in cities.
