The main objective of the study is to understand and assess the impact of cool coating on urban surfaces on roof, facade, and pavement as a mitigation strategy for the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. It is one of the largest ever study of its kind worldwide with over 58 nodes and over 200 meteorological sensors deployed across corridors, carparks, rooftops, street canyons and other locations.
