| Résumé : |
Heat is the leading weather-related cause of human mortality, surpassing hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning, and blizzards. The impacts of heat are intensified by the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which occurs when cities are hotter than surrounding rural and suburban areas. Architectural coatings can play an important role in UHI mitigation by reflecting solar radiation rather than absorbing it. By efficiently reflecting sunlight and emitting absorbed heat, cool exterior walls maintain a lower surface temperature, improve occupant comfort and safety, and reduce the demand for air conditioning, which decreases the building's contribution to peak demand, greenhouse gas emissions, and the UHI eff ect. This article describes methods for evaluating the "coolness" of architectural coatings, including laboratory testing and natural weathering to determine the durability of the radiative properties. It also summarizes current technologies for increasing coating solar reflectance ; discusses the latest research on the impacts of cool exterior walls ; describes U.S. building codes, standards, and voluntary programs that require or promote their use ; and explores strategies for discussing cool coatings with customers. |
