2. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

   The albedo of several types of roofs (lower values means higher temperatures). Reflective surfaces, or ground-based albedo modification (GBAM), is a solar radiation management method of enhancing Earth's albedo (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths of the Sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface).

3. Roof coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_coating

   Many roof coatings are elastomeric, that is, they have elastic properties that allow them to stretch and return to their original shape without damage. Typical roof coating dry film thickness vary from paint film thickness (plus or minus 0.075 mm (3 dry mils) to more than 1 mm (40 dry mils). This means a roof coating actually becomes the top ...

4. Insulative paint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulative_paint

   A "thermal Image" or infra-red photograph will clearly show the reduction of winter time heat loss from a home through areas that have been painted with a true "insulative" or "insulating" paint. The ability to reflect or block heat from all sources such as fireplaces, heaters, and radiators inside a building as well as sunlight is the value of ...

5. Building insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

   [51] [52] The Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient (SHGC) [53] (a measure of solar heat transmittance) of standard single glazing can be around 78–85%. Solar gain can be reduced by adequate shading from the sun, light coloured roofing, spectrally selective (heat-reflective) paints and coatings and, various types of insulation for the rest of the ...

6. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

   When the sun heats a roof, it's primarily the sun's radiant energy that makes the roof hot. Much of this heat travels by conduction through the roofing materials to the attic side of the roof. The hot roof material then radiates its gained heat energy onto the cooler attic surfaces, including the air ducts and the attic floor.

   “You have to [try],” Mahomes said on Tuesday. “That’s the reason you play this game, to push to play. I’m not going to put our team in a bad position.
