A project will include underground parking. This change can have a positive impact on what issue?


A: Parking capacity
B: Heat island effect
C: Community connectivity
D: Pedestrian access

参考答案: B

本题解释:
A The parking capacity would remain unchanged.
B The heat island effect would be reduced because the parking has been moved underground.

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.
C Underground parking is unrelated to community connectivity.
D Pedestrian access to the surrounding buildings and services would not be affected.
