white roof
Heat-reflecting building top
A white roof is a roofing surface designed to reflect sunlight rather than absorb it, typically coated or made with highly reflective materials.
White roofs reduce building cooling costs and mitigate urban heat island effects: The city offered rebates for white roof installations.
