Cool roofs are now the hottest thing for Australian cities

Outdoor air temperature and cooling energy consumption can be significantly reduced by solar reflective material, research finds.

A UNSW Sydney research team’s technological and cost-benefit analyses of adopting cool roof technology across major Australian cities has found that city-wide implementation of cool roofs would reduce energy bills, lower indoor temperatures, decrease urban heating and improve the health of vulnerable populations.
