The Heat Island Group (LBNL)
Heat Island research is conducted to find, analyze, and implement solutions to the summer warming trends occurring in urban areas, the so-called 'heat island' effect. We currently concentrate on the study and development of more reflective surfaces for roadways and buildings." The group is led by the well-recognized researcher in this area, Hashem Akbari.

In the Heat, National Chain Stores Discover Advantages of California's Cool Roofs
National retail chains such as Wal-Mart, Sears, Target and Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse already have discovered a simple and highly efficient way to reduce their cooling needs on hot summer days: "cool roofs."

LBL researchers publish book on "heat islands"
By Diane LaMacchia. In addition to its already staggering cooling bills -- over half a million dollars an hour on a hot summer afternoon -- a city like Los Angeles runs up an additional $100,000 in cooling costs per hour because it is a "heat island." Scientists from the heat island project in LBL's Energy and Environment Division have just published a guidebook on how to control heat islands -- a worldwide phenomenon in which urban areas absorb more heat than their suburban and rural areas.

NASA, EPA: Light colors cool hot cities

The Energy Yardstick: PLACE3S is a method for creating more sustainable communities. PLACE3S, an acronym for PLAnning for Community Energy, Economic and Environmental Sustainability, is an innovative planning method that fully integrates focused public participation, community development and design, and computer-assisted quantification tools (GIS) to help communities produce plans that retain dollars in the local economy, save energy, attract jobs and development, reduce pollution and traffic congestion and conserve open space. PLACE3S creates an information base that functions as a common yardstick, empowering a community to compare components of each plan "apples-to-apples," make informed trade-offs, and arrive at a consensus Smart Growth plan. This plan will be broadly supported, economically and environmentally realistic, make investment sense, and encourage Smart Growth benefits to be tracked and reported annually.
