Builders have known for many years that white roofs reflect sunlight and lower the cost of air conditioning.But now scientists say they have found a new advantage:slowing global warming.
Hashem Akbari believes that whitening 100 of the world's largest cities could make the influence of the expected emissions smaller over the next ten years.
White buildings and surfaces reflect far more sunlight than dark ones.Reflected sunlight does not increase the greenhouse effect.unlike the heat energy sent out by dark surfaces heated by the sun.
Dr Akbari,of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,California,also argues that if built-up areas were made white,less heat would stay within them,alliowing people to use their air conditioners less,which use a lot of power.
Dr Akbarihas found out that making 100 of the largest cities white would increase the sunlight reflected by Earth by 0.03%.He believes it would cancel out the warming caused by 44 billion tons of carbon emissions.
"Roofs are going to have to be changed one by one and to make that effort at a very local level,we need to have an organization to make it happen,'says Dr Akbari.
He argues that while the action would not solve the problem of climate,it would slow it.
"We can give the environment time to breathe.'he says.'I just don't see a disadvantage of this idea.It gives everybody advantages and you don't have to make hard efforts to make it happen.'
Akbari and his partners say they will try to persuade the United Nations to organize big cities to change the materials of their roofs.
建筑人员很早就知道白色的屋顶有反射日光和降低空调费用的优点。然而,科学家们现在发现了另一个好处:减缓温室效应。
Hashem Akbari认为把世界上100个最大的城市的建筑涂上白色可以降低未来十年内预期的日光散发所造成的影响。不像深色建筑被太阳加热后会散发热能,白色建筑的表面比深色的更有效的反射太阳光,被反射的阳光就不会增加温室影响。
加州 Lawrence Berkeley 国家实验室的Akbari博士也认为如果建筑表面是白色的,贮存的热就少一些,这样人们就可以减少使用耗能很大的空调。
Akbari 博士发现把世界上100个最大的城市的建筑涂上白色会使被地球反射的日光增加0。03%。他相信这抵消了440亿吨含碳散发物所带来的影响。
Akbari 博士说:“屋顶的颜色需要一个接一个的改变,并且需要地方上的努力,我们需要一个可以实现以上需求的机构。
他认为虽然这种行为不能彻底解决气候问题,但是能够减慢它。
”我们可以给环境以喘息之机”他说,”我认为这主意没什么坏处。它能给每个人带来好处,而且做到它并不需要太大努力。“
Arbari和他的合伙人表示他们会尝试劝说联合国组织大城市改变他们屋顶所使用的材料。
