6 Key Things to Know About Urban Heat Islands

This article covers what urban heat islands are, their causes, how climate change worsens them, and strategies to mitigate their effects.

At the 2010 American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference in San Francisco, Dr. Ping Zhang will present her findings on the Urban Heat Island effect.  The data collected spans from 1995 to 2005 and will give scientists an idea of why cities are warmer than their surrounding areas, as well as what effect this will have on the planet.

NASA | Urban Heat Islands

Extreme heat is going to be felt across the country, but it's our cities that will be worst hit, as a phenomenon called the urban heat island effect drives temperatures even higher. 

There are solutions but it takes time and investment. Sky's Science Correspondent Thomas Moore reports.

Heatwave: What is the urban heat island effect?

Cities tend to be much warmer than their surrounding areas, and global warming is exacerbating this heat island effect. Painting roofs white helps cool buildings and lower energy demand. In New York City, installing these reflective rooftops supports the City's goal to reduce carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050.

What is the Carbon Footprint of Concrete?

In this article, we’ll explain what concrete is, why big cities use concrete, the carbon footprint of concrete, and some viable alternatives to concrete.

Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley spoke at the Republican party convention and backed Donald What's the difference between concrete and cement? 

Concrete is the most important construction material on earth and foundation of our modern society. At first glance it seems rudimentary, but there is a tremendous amount of complexity involved in every part of designing and placing concrete. This video is meant to be a bare-bones introduction to the topic, with a cool demonstration of concrete strength using a hydraulic press.

What is Saudi Arabia’s eco-friendly city (The Line)?

In this article we explore The Line, Saudi Arabia’s innovative, eco-friendly city project, delving into its sustainability claims and whether or not they stand up to scrutiny.

What if we could start again? THE LINE rethinks everything we know about how people live, work and play. A 170 km-long vertical city, designed around people, rather than cars. A revolution in urban living. A city that delivers new wonders for the world.

NEOM | What is THE LINE?

‘What is NEOM’, you ask?🤔 
Here's EVERYTHING you need to know.

#WhatisNEOM #NEOM

This is NEOM

Saudi Arabia is building a futuristic city in the middle of a vast desert— from scratch.

A vital element of the country's Vision 2030 plan, the project is the brainchild of Saudi's de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS. The site covers an area of more than 10,000 square miles, about the same size as Massachusetts. And it could cost $500 billion to complete.

"So Mohammed bin Salman wants to project himself as a liberal leader within the conservative royal family in Saudi Arabia," Ali Dogan, research fellow at the Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient institute, told CNBC in an interview. "Neom is a mega project seen in Saudi Arabia and the young Saudi population as part of this liberalization process."

The Neom project is far from without controversy, though. Critics say it's another attempt by the crown prince to improve his image after U.S. intelligence officials concluded he was behind the 2018 killing of journalist and Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi. It also is being seen by some as a way to distract attention from Saudi Arabia's human rights record.

Watch the video above to find out why MBS is betting on this futuristic city.

What is the Great British Insulation Scheme (ECO+)?

In this article we’ll look at what ECO+ actually does and how it relates to the existing UK Government scheme ECO4.

The soaring cost of energy bills has brought a new focus on to how to make homes more energy efficient so they retain heat.

There are a number of government funds aimed at supporting householders who are able to invest money in modernising their heating or insulation systems.

Schemes include the affordable warmth scheme – a £16m fund which helps households with incomes of up to £23,000, a £200m boiler replacement fund, which gives grant support to households with incomes of up to £40,000 and there is the sustainable energy programme - an £8m fund which covers a variety of schemes including a partial grant for anyone getting loft or wall insulation.

The Energy Saving Trust, an independent organisation which advises the public on greener energy solutions, says spending money in the short term could result in longer-term savings.

But people working in the industry says the government must do more to support energy efficient projects.

Rising bills put focus on home energy efficiency

With fuel bills rising, now is the time to improve the energy efficiency of your home.

ECO4 and The Great British Insulation Scheme has funding available to help homeowners who want to improve the energy efficiency of their home.

Our friendly advisors are here to uncomplicate the process of discovering if your home is eligible for funding.

We pride ourselves on our honest, professional advice, where we support you on your journey to make your home energy efficient.
