The plan is all about providing cool roofs to people who can’t afford to
build one. The state governments describe cool roofs as the best and
cheapest alternative to reduce the urban heat island effect.
CONCLUSION
Roofs and pavements cover about 60 percent of urban surfaces, and
absorb more than 80 percent of the sunlight that contacts them.
The energy is converted to heat, which results in hotter, more polluted
cities, and higher energy costs.
Cool roofs have the ability to reflect and reject heat because these are
prepared with materials which have properties of both high solar
reflectance and emittance.
