Los Angeles coated more than 700,000 sq ft of dark asphalt with reflective material, and during a heatwave, parts of Pacoima saw air temperatures up to 1.9°C lower
An experiment in Pacoima, Los Angeles, applied reflective coating to over 700,000 square feet of asphalt. This treatment reduced afternoon air temperatures by up to 3.5°F during a September heatwave. Surface temperatures of the pavement itself fell by approximately 10°F, showing altered heat absorption. While cooler air was observed, radiant…
