The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationships between the energy stored in the canopy, the heat island (ICU) and the energy consumption of buildings located in urban and rural sites, in a tropical climate. Meteorological stations were used to collect data on energy balance, flow of heat stored in the soil, temperature and absolute humidity of the air, in the dry and rainy seasons. The heat flux in the soil was measured using a flow meter and the energy stored in the urban canopy was estimated. The Cooling Degree-Hour parameter was used to derive the energy consumption for cooling the bedrooms of a hypothetical building, located in urban and rural sites. The results indicated differences between the balance of available energy...
