Quelle est la principale raison pour laquelle une densité élevée de toits verts est nécessaire pour rafraîchir un quartier ?

Question type: multiple choice · Difficulty: advanced

  1. A. To increase the property values in the area.
  2. B. To achieve a cumulative level of evapotranspiration that can lower ambient air temperature.
  3. C. To meet the government-mandated percentage of green coverage.
  4. D. To create enough shade to block all direct sunlight from reaching street level.

Explanation Preview

The effect of a single roof is 'negligible' because the cool air is dispersed. The other options are not mentioned as the primary reason for needing high density for cooling.
