FOUND: Argonne - What They Never Told You

Scientists taught cameras to watch birds around solar panels; after 19,000 hours of footage, they discovered how the birds were actually using them

Researchers are examining how birds interact with solar panel systems, utilizing AI-enhanced cameras to capture extensive footage of avian behavior. Observations indicate that birds engage in various activities, such as perching, nesting, and foraging within these solar arrays. Notably, the study found no instances of bird collisions with the installations,…

Argonne modeled Chicago’s August 2021 heatwave with different roof types; white roofs lowered air temperature by nearly 2°C and cooling energy use by 16.6%

Transforming the rooftops of Chicago into cooler surfaces has led to a notable reduction in city temperatures. The use of white cool roofs emerged as the most effective option, achieving a temperature drop of nearly two degrees Celsius. Additionally, vegetative green roofs provided significant cooling and stormwater management. Solar panel…
