Cool roofs reflect sunlight and therefore can reduce cooling
energy use in buildings. Further, since roofs typically cover
about 20-25% of a city, widespread deployment of cool roofs could
mitigate the urban heat island effect and partially counter urban
temperature increases associated with global scale climate
change. The magnitude of these potential benefits for a given
city depends on the increase in albedo that can be achieved using
reflective roofs. Assessing this increase requires knowledge of
roof albedo at the city scale, which until now has been hindered
by a lack of reflectance data with sufficient spatial coverage,
spatial resolution, and spectral detail.
