cool roof
Heat-rejecting building top
A cool roof is designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof, typically through reflective coatings, tiles, or light-colored materials.
Cool roofs reduce building temperatures, lower air conditioning costs, and help mitigate urban heat islands: The city offers rebates for cool roof installations.
