Buildings pop up like mushrooms nowadays. Every new day, we see the concrete mixers on the roads.

High-rise building numbers incrementally increase.

Have you thought about how this rapid growth in construction affects our lives?

Actually, the equation is also simple as follows.

The more concrete will be casted, the more we will have the oppression from the heat in our routine daily life.

When the sunshines come directly to the hard surfaces such as roads, buildings, pavements etc. , it reflects heat through the air.

Thus, we feel hotter than normal temperature.
