"mitigate heat" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It means to reduce or lessen the intensity of heat. It can be used in situations where there is excessive heat and measures are taken to make it more bearable. Example: In order to mitigate the heat during the summer months, the city installed misting fans and shaded seating areas in the park.
Mr. Virant, a skilled carpenter and licensed contractor who teaches workshops at the influential Vermont design-build school Yestermorrow, incorporated the strategies the school stresses, especially passive solar heating (which means windows are positioned to mitigate heat gain in summer and maximize it in winter).
Urban green spaces have been proven to significantly decrease ambient air temperature and mitigate heat islands created by urbanization.
Growers and winemakers monitor the fruit closely and when the grapes are ready, they are harvested – often at night to mitigate heat – and trucked to San Francisco where the wine making process begins.
Our results indicate that in open urban squares trees can mitigate heat stress more effectively than low-hanging sun sails, installed right above the head of pedestrians.
Appropriate vegetation used for shading public and private areas is essential to mitigate heat stress and can create better human thermal comfort especially in cities.
Since the propensity to walk and bicycle tends to decrease with socioeconomic status (SES) and because lower SES groups are more vulnerable to heat-related health impacts, efforts to mitigate heat exposure can be of disproportionate benefit to these groups.
Treatment with 0.5 mM SA mitigates heat stress by increasing proline production by increasing γ-glutamyl kinase and decreasing proline oxidase activity, resulting in the promotion of osmotic potential necessary for maintaining crucial physiological processes (Khan et al. 2013).
Identifying not only the most vulnerable populations in the community but also whether those areas already experience the hottest temperatures, as in Phoenix (Harlan et al. 2006), and ameliorating these local heat hotspots within the urban heat island with cool roofs and urban trees could go a long way toward mitigating heat.
Parks and green spaces also may contribute to population health by reducing exposures to air pollution and noise, capturing and filtering stormwater runoff, and mitigating heat-related illnesses.
These plans which may include early alerts and advisories and a variety of emergency measures to mitigate the heat dangers, are called "heat warning systems" (HWS) or "heat health warning systems" (HHWS) [ 13, 14].
This paper highlights the main features of the ITER cryogenic system, including the results of studies to mitigate pulsed heat loads on the helium refrigerator and minimize the heat load from helium circulating pumps.
