What does the use of light colored pervious paving help with?(choose 2)
A: Regional materials
B: Recycling
C: Heat island effect
D: Stormwater management

参考答案: CD

本题解释:
Light colored paving, or paving with a high SRI value, helps reduce the heat island effect.

The heat island effect is created when developed areas have higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas. An urban heat island effect is caused by sunlight heating up dark colored surfaces such as roads and rooftops. Huge quantities of heat are generated in buildings that have dark rooftops and absorb heat rather than reflect it;Pervious paving helps with reducing stormwater runoff by allowing stormwater to percolate through the pavement.
