Increasing the reflectiveness of a building—painting roofs white, for instance—can be a cheap, easy, and effective solution, reducing the amount of heat absorbed and released after hours. Such solutions are particularly important to powering the global economy, whose heat-exposed workers lose productivity as temperatures continue to rise.
