**2.2.5 Wooden products**

Wood is very seldom used in the open spaces of Greek cities. In this study, the temperature of wood surfaces was measured in three cases. Wooden surfaces showed very high surface temperatures, which were comparable even with the surface temperatures of asphalt (Table 1). The mean maximum temperature of wood was 60 oC, its mean temperature was 46.2 oC, while its surface temperature at 19:30 was 28.7 oC, and much lower than the air temperature at that time.
