Hygrothermal Performance of Cool Roofs Subjected to Saudi Climates [PDF]
Frontiers in Energy Research, 2019 In regions with hot climatic conditions such as that in Saudi Arabia, a substantial share of energy is used for cooling the buildings. Many studies have shown that cool (white) roofs can help reduce the cooling energy load and thus the demand for energy ...

Revisiting the climate impacts of cool roofs around the globe using an Earth system model
Environmental Research Letters, 2016 Solar reflective ‘cool roofs’ absorb less sunlight than traditional dark roofs, reducing solar heat gain, and decreasing the amount of heat transferred to the atmosphere.

A wedge strategy for mitigation of urban warming in future climate scenarios [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Heat stress is one of the most severe climate threats to human society in a future warmer world. The situation is further exacerbated in urban areas by urban heat islands (UHIs). Because the majority of world's population is projected to live in cities,
