Study in Nature Cities shows retroreflective material on buildings can reduce surface temps by 36°F and air temps by 5°, potentially mitigating urban heat dangers.
A study in the journal Nature Cities reveals that retroreflective material installed on buildings can reduce their surface temperatures by up to 36°F and air temperatures by nearly 5°, providing potential relief in urban heat-related dangers. This simple, inexpensive solution could make pedestrians feel significantly more comfortable in scorching summer city environments.
