An office project will include measures to reduce the heat island effect. Pedestrian walkways are being installed that will have high reflectivity. Trees will be planted to provide shaded parking spaces. What should be done after certification?(choose 2)

A: Measure heat gains of the building envelope in July to determine the heat load being reflected towards the building
B: Prune the trees so they do not shade the pedestrian walkways
C: Clean the walkways at least every 2 years
D: Verify the trees provide shade within 5 years

参考答案: CD

Both of the correct choices will help reduce the heat island effect. Trees should be checked that they provide shade within 5 years.

Reflective surfaces should be cleaned every two years so that they can continue to perform optimally.

Trees that do provide shade should not be pruned just because the tree is shading a reflective surface.

Reflective surfaces reduce the heat island effect and would lower the building\\\'s cooling loads in the summer time.
