Summary • Identical sites in urban areas don’t exist!
• Approach is generalizable to other countermeasures
• Stations don’t need to be so strictly paired, but signal noise may increase if distances are too great
• Sites must be characterized prior to UHI countermeasure implementation

Future Work • Additional feedback from other field studies
– Other sites
– Other countermeasures
• Other analysis tools?
– Time series analysis
– Data mining techniques
– …
