Impacts on cooling energy consumption due to the UHI and vegetation changes in Manchester, UK

•This research estimated building energy changes due to UHII and urban vegetation.•The summer UHI alone increased the air conditioning load between 9% and 12%.•Adding 5% mature trees in the urban case reduced peak UHII by 1.0°C.•Energy modelling estimated a reduction of 2.7% in July chiller energy d...
