It is well known that a tree provides cooling on hot days. But now it has also been scientifically proven: trees actually work as natural air conditioners in the city. This is the result of years of research led by TU Delft.

City trees provide cooling even in extreme heat
Plane trees in cities have an important cooling effect even in extreme heat, according to a new study conducted by the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) and EPFL published in Urban Forestry & Urban Greening. The next step is to identify which tree species are particularly effective at cooling.
The Earth is warmer than it was in 125,000 years, scientists say, and Las Vegas continues to beat temperature recordings. Extreme heat cost more than 500 lives in southern Nevada last year, and scientists and city officials are demanding [...]
A New, Detailed Analysis of the Benefits and Trade-offs of Urban Street Trees in Las Vegas
Earth is hotter than it has been in 125,000 years, scientists say, and Las Vegas continues to break temperature records. Planting and preserving the city’s street trees is one method that brings many benefits, from the cool air of their shade to their ability to store carbon. Now, a new study takes a deeper look at just how much trees can offer Sin City, as well as the water tradeoffs inherent in growing trees in a desert. The post A New, Detail…
Even in extreme heat, plane trees still evaporate surprisingly much water and cool cities effectively. This new insight puzzles researchers.
