Nice going, well done, we need to make Singapore cooler!

[@mad_in_2020]

Great effort. Heat is a real problem. If inventions can create cooler atmosphere that will be very helpful.

[@WWK186]

Great to have such products that cater to South East Asian weather.

Urban Warming. When cities replace natural land cover with dense concentrations of pavement, buildings, and other surfaces that absorb and retain heat.

ok sire

[@eu.p.5807]

Reflective heat can be cooling for building inside but it still doesn't lower the heat outside the surrounding building.

[@space4495]

Indeed a useful project. 👍👍👍

How about having solar powered fans installed on lamp posts along pavements? 😀

[@xjp]

Does the Solar Nova project, installing solar panels on HDB roof tops, contributing to warmer temperatures?

[@yangyeshuai3686]

how come add more superheat can shread less heat from evap

[@moseleenone7252]

Just put more trees like a forest. Back to nature. CITY X FOREST

[@deschan2246]

Singapore is getting hotter is not weather or climate driven, its cause by human. For this case, its Singapore Government. Over building is the primary cause. Forested land, bushes and fields hv the ability to absorb and reduced the Sunlight heat. When they are demolised to give way for concrete structures . Heat will be trapped in the day and released back to the surrounding at night. Higher temperatures is not the only cause, flooding is the other serious cause. Government policy of over poppulating Singapore is the culprit. An irresponsible act.

Watch out, here comes the political observer by day and climatologist by night!

我同意，重點在於建築物過度密集

[@deschan2246]
