About a week ago I wrote about the cool roof project in Philadelphia [LINK]. The winning block was just announced ... the 1200 Block of Wolf Street.
The residents on this block showed tremendous enthusiasm and community spirit in their quest to become the 'Coolest'. Plus, every roof on the block is suitable for a 'cool roof' coating!
"In the coming weeks, ... this block ... receive its prize-an energy audit and energy-efficient upgrades, such as insulation, air sealing and a 'cool roof'! And we'll celebrate with a block party in June!"
" ... check out their winning essay!"
"Cool roofs reflect the sun's heat ... are about 50-80 degrees cooler than typical asphalt roofs and come in a variety of colors. White is the "coolest" because it most efficiently reflects the sun's rays. "
