As cities heat up, reflective roofs could lower energy bills and help the climate. But dark-roofing manufacturers are waging a quiet campaign to block new rules
Oh yeah, the black roof industry produced a study that says that black roofs are better. I’d be highly skeptical, especially considering that ‘a study’ has no legal definition.
I’m a few days away from having a new roof installed (hurricanes 🙄), I chose a cool roof-compliant architectural shingle. So, I’ve done a bit of studying of this as well.
Based on my research, black roofs are still affected by the laws of thermodynamics, no matter how many lobbyists I surround it with.
You’re on point with that Greenland reference. That’s a very well studied phenomenon. I mean, assuming you believe scientists and observational data (which isn’t a guarantee here on social media).
