The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) has begun a new project to measure the impact of pollution on Cool Roofs, and they're pulling out all the stops. With the aid of rooftop instruments, satellite images, an airplane and a balloon, LBNL scientists are determining how pollution impacts the efficacy of white roofs in cooling the planet. The project will last a...
