La chaleur générée par les activités humaines, comme la chaleur émise par les véhicules, les climatiseurs et l'activité industrielle, est un autre facteur contribuant à l'effet d'ICU [îlot de chaleur urbain]. L'augmentation des températures, résultant de l'émission de chaleur anthropique, pourrait amener une demande d'énergie croissante pour le rafraîchissement, notamment via la climatisation, qui conduit à son tour à une plus grande émission de chaleur anthropique [...] 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9mission%20de%20chaleur%20anthropique
