Shaded Green Corridors at Highway Edges: Integrating Vehicle AC Condensate Harvesting, Edge Shade Structures and Low‑Water Vegetation to Mitigate Urban Heat Islands / Corredores Verdes Sombrados en Bordes de Autopistas: Integración de Recolección de Condensado de A/C Vehicular, Sombreado Lateral y Vegetación de Bajo Riego para Mitigar Islas de Calor Urbanas

Enengunering propose a scalable, low‑cost, nature‑based + resource‑recovery intervention for the edges of highways and major arterials. The system integrates: (1) capture and routing of condensate from vehicle air-conditioning and, where available, building HVAC units; (...
