There are several benefits that a white roof can cause. Studies show that the use of roofs painted in white, could reduce global warming, since white reflects sunlight and absorbs less heat, contributing to the thermal balance in interior environments, reducing the use of fans and air conditioners.
The research concluded that for every 100 square feet of painted surfaces in white, there is a compensation of 10 t in the emission of carbon dioxide (CO ²), primarily responsible for global warming.
In comparison to the green roof, which requires more maintenance, the white roof is easy to use and requires little maintenance. The benefits are achieved mainly when using the right ink that can last up to 10 years, Just requiring sufficient maintenance to keep it clean. According to the study of LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), most urban areas is covered by ceilings or floors; if they were all painted in white color, the institution concluded there would be a compensation of 44 billion of all CO ² emitted.
How about doing a simple test? Wear a black shirt and get expose to the sun for a few minutes, then repeat the procedure with a white shirt and feel the difference.
Here arises a second question: can the reflected energy change the composition of the gases that make up the atmosphere?
If more energy is reflected, can the cycles of evaporation be accelerated? Clouds, etc.
