Hypothesis Concrete areas are hotter than non-

concrete area.

Site A: Top Floor of Multistorey Carpark

Site B: Garden outside printing centre

Site C: Open space between canteen and Block C

Site D: Terraces

Site E: Field

Site F: Running Track

Site G: Fountain area outside General Office

Garden: 28.95 MSCP: 29.5

The average temperature of concrete area is not higher than that of non-concrete area.

Conclusion Our hypothesis is rejected. The rejection might be due to multiple

errors caused during the experiment, such as not measuring the temperature as the same point at each location during the two measurements.

We believe that the result will probably be more reliable if the temperature is taken at the same time.
