Due to crowded conditions and streets trapping heat, temperature fluctuations affect urban areas more than rural ones. Data from the UN shows that 55% of the global population lives in urban areas. By 2050, this number may be up to 68%, a clear majority. This means we need creative and innovative ways to cool down the places we live in.<\/p><h2><b>Solar Reflective Paint Project in L.A.<\/b><\/h2><p>In summer 2022, GAF, a roofing and waterproofing manufacturer, partnered with nonprofit Climate Resolve to paint the roads of Pacoima, L.A., with a solar reflective coating. The project covered a total of more than 1 million square feet. The area included basketball courts, schoolyards, and parking lots. A local artist even created a street mural with the paint.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_50180\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50180\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-50180\" src=\"https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image006-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"people-rolling-blue-paint-on-concrete\" width=\"624\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image006-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image006-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image006-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image006-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image006-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/greenschoolsgreenfuture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image006.jpg 1901w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-50180\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: GAF<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Since launch, the project has been under study.

This refers to how hot (or cold) you would feel while walking around.<\/p><p>According to research, during heat waves, Pacoima had ambient air temperatures that were up to 3.5\u00b0F cooler than surrounding areas. On sunny days, these temperatures were up to 2.1\u00b0F cooler. The solar reflective coating also helped\u00a0 the pavement warm up slower before noon and also cool off faster in the afternoon. Also, the surface temperature of the coated pavement was, on average, 10\u00b0F cooler than non-coated areas during the day on sunny days.<\/p><p>Jeff Terry, the VP of corporate social responsibility and sustainability at GAF, sees promise in these results.
