Cool Coatings for Cool People: What Sustainable Surfaces Can do for You
Get PDFClimate change is forcing cities around the world to rethink their landscapes. Urban spaces, packed with concrete, asphalt, and rooftops, absorb more heat than rural areas, creating a phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This temperature rise stresses energy grids, shortens the lifespan of infrastructure, and makes city life more uncomfortable, particularly during summer months.
