Research reveals the give and take of urban temperature mitigating technologies

Greenhouse-gas induced warming and megapolitan expansion are both significant drivers of our warming planet. Researchers are now assessing adaptation technologies — such as cool roofs, green roofs and hybrids of the two — that could help us acclimate to these changing realities. Now a team of researchers, led by Matei Georgescu, of Arizona State University has begun exploring the relative effectiveness of some of the most common adaptation technologies aimed at reducing warming from urban expa…
