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

参考答案: AC

本题解释:
Notes:
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.
