Built-up areas are known to heavily impact the thermal regime of the shallow subsurface. In many cities, the answer to densification is to increase the height and depth of buildings, which leads to a steady growth in the number of underground car parks. These underground car parks are heated by waste heat from car engines and are typically several...

... • C. Private UCPs typically have fewer levels and car exchange, which may be the reason for lower T UCP in comparison to public UCPs. The locations of the UCPs may influence the results as well. Public UCPs are often located in the city centers, where T Air is typically higher than in residential areas, in which private UCPs are commonly found. Fig. 7 shows violin plots of the temperature difference between T UCP and T Air for each level. At all sites, T UCP is warmer than T Air on a longterm average and the temperature difference increases towards deeper levels. In particular, there is a significant increase of 2.8 K in the temperature difference between the first and second level. ...
