Lighting Implications of Urban Mitigation Strategies through Cool Pavements: Energy Savings and Visual Comfort

Cool materials with higher solar reflectance compared with conventional materials of the same color are widely used to maintain cooler urban fabrics when exposed to solar irradiation and to mitigate the Urban Heat Island (UHI). Photo-catalytic coatings are also useful to reduce air pollutants. Many...
