Traditional impermeable pavements such as asphalt have dark surfaces and high thermal inertia. During hot weather, they tend to absorb and store solar radiation, which promotes the development of urban heat islands (UHI). Furthermore, permeable pavements are effective in mitigating the urban heat island effect via evaporative cooling. There are many studies in the literature on the hydraulic and mechanical characteristics of permeable pavements, but a few studies focus on the impact of evaporative cooling of these pavements. In this study, 3 types of permeable pavements based on pozzolan, recycled rubber and polyurethane resin were studied during 3 hot days. The objective was to quantify the cooling effect in these innovative permeable pavements compared to a traditional impermeable asphalt pavement. The results of this experiment show that the cooling effect in the new types of draining pavements can last up to two days in the weather conditions of this experiment compared to the traditional asphalt pavement. The evaporation rate and surface temperature of permeable pavements vary in opposite directions. In addition, evaporation in pervious pavements is controlled by the availability of water near the surface. This study is a preliminary step in the design of pavements that contribute to the valorization of rubber waste, to the stormwater management and to the reduction of the effects of urban heat islands during heat waves.

Abstract This experimental study aimed to determine the effect of airflow velocity on the performance of a direct evaporative cooling system. Rectangular-shaped honeycomb cooling pads with a length of 34 cm, a width of 25 cm, and a thickness of 3.5 cm are used as cooling media. The main parameters of the study are low air velocity (2.3 ms−1), medium (3.2 ms−1), and high velocity (3.7 ms−1). The data collected include dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, output air temperature, input and output air velocity, input and output humidity, and solar radiation. These data are used to determine saturation efficiency, cooling capacity, temperature decreases, and feasibility index. The experimental results are presented in the form of tables and graphs and analysed based on existing theories. The results showed that the evaporative cooling system could produce output temperatures up to 27.5°C with input 31.4°C at low airspeed, 27.97°C with input 31.47oC at medium speed, and 27.7°C with input 31.30°C at high air speed. It was concluded that a low airflow rate would add to the cooling efficiency, and the higher the airflow rate, the lower the cooling efficiency. The results showed that evaporative cooling is achievable with a feasibility index of 19.89 ≤ F*≤ 20.67. The results also affirmed that cooling capability is higher where the feasibility indexes are comparatively low.

This paper focuses on the performance assessment of the green filtration system that incorporated with evaporative cooling that used to enhance indoor air quality. This system was invented in an attempt to thrive in a clean environment that becomes a solution for certain places. Indoor air quality (IAQ) and public health risk related to each other, it is due to the percentage of the city population that stays indoors rather than go outdoors. Indoor air contamination is originated from mixed origins such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and indoor airborne particulate matter (PM). The results show that the green filtration system manages to filter PM and VOCs in the air but not as efficient as modern air filters in the market. Furthermore, the evaporative cooling system possesses a huge deal in energy-saving within hot and arid climatic regions.
