Efficient cooling for urban environments: How outdoor misting systems contribute to healthy public spaces & communities

In Australia, the “urban heat island” effect poses a significant climate threat to human health in growing urban populations. As temperatures continue to rise, keeping public spaces cool will be more important than ever as it has the potential to increase access to the outdoors and deliver positive health impacts to the community. Local councils and businesses are urgently seeking climate-specific solutions that can deliver targeted cooling to these spaces to ensure they remain viable. One of the most effective solutions for this purpose is outdoor misting systems.

Efficient Cooling for Urban Environments: How Outdoor Misting Systems Contribute to Healthy Public Spaces & Communities examines the effects of rising local temperatures and urban heat islands on public health and wellbeing and identifies effective strategies that can be utilised by architects and designers to improve thermal comfort in public spaces. In particular, we highlight the effectiveness of outdoor misting systems and discuss various scientific studies that demonstrate their ability to create positive and healthy outdoor environments, even in the hottest of climates.

Mistafog provides misting systems for cost-effective cooling for all commercial applications. Systems are specialised to control heat, humidity, odour, outdoor cooling and misting services for a wide range of sectors and applications, including council and public space areas such as parks, playgrounds, shopping centres and alfresco eateries.
