Yes, we met with a scientist. Because, to get grants for fighting heat islands, we had to take the temperature outside and do some calculations. We were asked how many percentage points the temperature would be reduced if we carried out the project. So, for someone who is not a scientist, it's difficult to do those calculations that take into account the shade from trees.
It would also be worthwhile to have access to people who could do these calculations so we could submit requests. It's all well and good to have a project, but it is important that it be measurable in five or 10 years. In fact, having scientific experts would help us a lot. So, we would know if we are doing the right things. The project may be quite relevant, but if it does not resolve a heat island problem, it is basically not good.
What you are proposing would help us.
