“The Clean Energy Solutions Center helps governments design and adopt policies and programs that support the deployment of clean energy technologies.
-
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Heat Island Group
The Heat Island Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory works to cool buildings, cities, and the planet by making roofs, pavements, and cars cooler in the sun.
-
Material Rating Program
The Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) is an independent, non-profit organization that maintains a third-party rating system for radiative properties of roof surfacing materials.
-
White Roofs NZ
White Roofs is a simple idea that offers one of the fastest and lowest cost ways of helping reduce global warming by mimicking how the polar icecaps reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet
-
GSEP Cool Roofs and Pavements Working Group
In an effort to reduce energy use in buildings and to mitigate the warming effects of climate change, the Cool Roofs and Pavements Working Group formed as a subgroup within the Global Superior Energy Performance Partnership (GSEP)
-
Global Cool Cities Alliance
Global Cool Cities Alliance is a non-profit dedicated to advancing policies and actions that increase the solar reflectance of our buildings and pavements as a low cost way to promote cool buildings
-
China-US Clean Energy Research Center (CERC)
Solar-reflective “cool” roofs are used in the U.S. to (i) decrease energy use, energy cost, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions via both reduced solar heat gain and lower outside air temperatures
-
Cool Roofs in China-US CERC-BEE
The Clean Energy Research Center, a joint effort between the United States and China to promote clean energy practices, was established in November 2009.
