But Peter Crank, a research fellow with Cooling Singapore, said they are expensive, so the “cost-benefit is potentially challenging. They had also said that using reflective paints would be a good way to mitigate heat. In 2017, researchers for Cooling Singapore recommended 86 ways the city-state could modify its planning, such as changing the direction of buildings to create wind flow and using district cooling systems - which pipe chilled water to surrounding buildings to cool the air - instead of relying on air-conditioners.
That contributed directly to what climate researchers call the “urban heat island” effect, where the difference between downtown Singapore and the forests in the northwestern part of the island can exceed 12.6 degrees. In recent decades, the government transformed the city-state by building tall skyscrapers, piling concrete, steel and glass where Singapore’s natural forests once stood. It became clear that urbanization had made Singapore a lot warmer than before. Her Instagram page is a perfect example of the unique appearance of Asian women even in the mid-50s, these ladies look like 20-year-old models Indeed, Kim-Anh Le-Pham is wonderfully beautiful, sexy, and fit. Schmitt and his team of researchers started investigating what happened. Actor, model, and presenter, Kim-Anh Le-Pham is an example of a more mature and experienced woman. They told him that it never used to be so bad and that they had once been able to spot morning dew on grass. Gerhard Schmitt, the former lead principal investigator for Cooling Singapore, said the idea for the project started because he had asked a group of older residents in 2011 whether Singapore had always been this hot. It is research that the Singapore government hopes can be replicated around the world. The project’s current goal is to build a computer model, or “digital urban climate twin,” of Singapore, which would allow policymakers to analyze the effectiveness of various heat mitigation measures before spending money on solutions that might not work. Chow and his team are part of Cooling Singapore, a multi-institutional project that was launched in 2017 with funding from the Singapore government.
Winston Chow, the lead researcher, watched the scene as a sliver of sweat formed on his forehead. The volunteers had strapped on devices to measure their heart rates and the temperature of their skin. Sunshine glinted off the tall buildings.įourteen volunteers, six climate researchers and a mobile biometeorological cart named “Smarty” prepared to set off for a “heat walk” in the Southeast Asian city-state’s downtown area. SINGAPORE - The temperature had reached 86 degrees and was climbing.
