Energy savings from cool roofs during warmer months outweighs any added heating costs in the winter. In TN & Denver, the #EPDMindustry won; Baltimore voted for #coolroofs.

A black synthetic rubber known as EPDM has historically dominated commercial roofing, but in recent years it has been surpassed by TPO, a plastic single-ply material which is typically white & is better suited to meet the growing demand for reflective roofs. #coolroofs

Roofs comprise up to one-fourth of the surface area of major US cities, so the color of roofs can make a big difference in urban areas. You can physically burn your hands on these roofs. A cool roof on a home in central California saved 20% in annual energy costs. #coolroofs

What are ‘cool roofs’ and could they save lives? The study also found that solar panels could reduce temperatures while generating energy.

Scientists say painting roofs this colour could save lives: How does it keep cities cool?

The surprisingly simple way cities could save people from extreme heat Heat kills more people than any other form of extreme weather, and nowhere is it more dangerous than in cities. Cool roofs could help.

UCLA researcher Edith de Guzman highlights the power of #CoolRoofs in combating urban heat for Grist 🌤️ “We could reduce the number of ER visits and the number of deaths substantially, in some cases over 50%.”
