One of the problems that affect urban areas in different cities around the world, regardless of their geographic location or size, is the Urban Heat Island effect (UHI). UHI is a thermal phenomenon that consists of the difference in temperature that exists between the different areas of the same city. Among the main consequences of UHI we have the decrease in thermal comfort, greater use of energy and water resources, among others. One of the causes that produce them is the use of low reflectance materials (albedo), which is a property that quantifies how much radiation a surface absorbs. A material with low reflectance absorbs more radiation, which causes an increase in temperature on it and its surroundings. Pavements are one of the surfaces of the city that are constantly exposed to solar radiation. That is why this thesis seeks to increase the value of its reflectance to mitigate the effects of UHI through the use of diatomite, which is a good candidate to be used as an addition in concrete for pavements, since it has high reflectance. In the development of this research, the variation of the reflectance of concrete with different percentages of diatomite (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% of the pc) will be evaluated, and how this variation impacts on UHI through the modeling of a microclimate in the ENVI-met software.
