Due to urban warming, the energy demand for cooling buildings is rising. The current study used CitySim (building energy model) to estimate the cooling energy requirements for 40 buildings in downtown Dubai using high-resolution climate data from weather research and forecasting (WRF) coupled with the single layer urban canopy model (SLUCM). Simulating the four mitigation scenarios allowed for the examination of the reduction in cooling load caused by the addition of greenery at a rate ranging from 25% to 100%. The insulated building’s cooling demand reduced by a maximum of 13.89% under 100% GI (M4). Scenario M4 resulted in a reduction of 4.6 kWh/m2 and 3.1 kWh/m2 for the non-insulated and insulated low-rise residential buildings, respectively, while the high-rise buildings saw a reduction of 3.09–4.91 kWh/m2 for the non-insulated and 2.07–3.09 kWh/m2 for the insulated buildings. This study offers a potential remedy to deal with the problem of urban heating in subtropical environments. |
