Fig. 4. Comparison of measured surface temperatures of hard surface, soil surface without vegetation cover, and soil surface covered with different kinds o plants. In this study, surface temperatures measured on the bare soil surface (point 2), under three types of vegetation cover: turfing, shrubs and trees (point 1), and on the soffit surface (point 4) were used in the calculation of equivalent R-values of these three types of vegetation: turfing, shrubs and trees. These R-values were used in the subsequent simulations.
