    White Roof Project is a US nationwide initiative [73] that educates and empowers individuals [74] to coat rooftops white. The program's outreach [75] has helped complete white roof projects in more than 20 US states and five countries, engaged thousands in volunteer projects, and sponsored the coating of hundreds of nonprofit and low-income ...

  3. Passive daytime radiative cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_daytime_radiative...

    A PDRC can double the energy savings of a white roof. [4] This makes PDRCs an alternative or supplement to air conditioning that lowers energy demand and reduces air conditioning's release of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) into the atmosphere. HFCs can be thousands of times more potent than CO 2. [7] [4] [37] [8]

  4. Radiative cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_cooling

    The most common radiative coolers found on buildings are white cool-roof paint coatings, which have solar reflectances of up to 0.94, and thermal emittances of up to 0.96. [27] The solar reflectance of the paints arises from optical scattering by the dielectric pigments embedded in the polymer paint resin, while the thermal emittance arises ...

    A passive daytime radiative cooling roof application can double the energy savings of a white roof, [33] and when applied as a multilayer surface to 10% of a building's roof, it can replace 35% of air conditioning used during the hottest hours of daytime. [34]

  9. Efficient energy use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient_energy_use

    Common energy efficiency label on appliances to indicate their energy efficiency in a clear manner. Efficient energy use, or energy efficiency, is the process of reducing the amount of energy required to provide products and services. There are many technologies and methods available that are more energy efficient than conventional systems.
