White Roofs near Banilad Wetlands - Mandaue City

Description

White roofs on Fuman Industries Inc. and Eapitern University - Cebu Campus buildings, helping reduce heat stress.

White roofs have a high albedo, the fraction of sunlight that is reflected (0-1). The reflection of sunlight lowers the temperature of a body, decreasing the heat island effect and the temperature in the building. In addition, this low temperature means that the material will have a longer lifetime than black/dark-grey roof materials.
