Climate change: the Australian turning point
Who said that real estate cannot help in the fight against climate change?
Well, the news we will talk about today is precisely about how an Australian company has made its real estate more sustainable. By reflexively helping in the fight against climate change! Are you curious to know more? So, if you're ready, we can start our column today! Today we will take you to Sydney, Australia. Specifically in the suburb of Wilton.
In fact, a new initiative has been announced, which provides for the elimination of dark roofs from houses. This in fact will contribute, as explained in the following lines, to the elimination of heat absorption. The reference area, in fact, is known for its very high temperatures, often close to 50 ° C in the hottest seasons. By eliminating the darker colors, precisely of the roofs, it will be possible to avoid the excessive absorption of heat which, year after year, generates a significant increase in temperature throughout the area. But the new bill certainly doesn't stop there! It is definitely more complex and articulated. Let's find out more!
Again to encourage both real estate but also the protection of the surrounding environment and atmospheric conditions, further parameters are examined. Such as, for example, that of providing green spaces. In detail, creating real corridors of trees between new buildings and pre-existing ones. There is also no shortage of initiatives relating to the creation of new homes. Always with a view to the fight against lowering temperatures. According to the latest IPCC climate report, temperatures in Australia have risen by 1.4 ° C. The maximum threshold relating to the Paris agreements was 1.5 ° C. This is why exceeding this level would really put the whole area at risk. To prevent this disastrous result from being achieved, it was undoubtedly necessary to adopt these new measures. But the city of Wilton was certainly not the first to take these initiatives defined as '' cool roof ''.
For some time now, a program aimed at lowering temperatures has also been inaugurated in New York. In this case, the reasons are more than obvious, given the size of the metropolis.
But why then choose to use lighter colors for the roofs of the houses? The answer is to be found in the scientific laws which, in this case, are combined with those of the study of color. Suffice it to say that in the hottest places in the world, most of the houses are totally white. This is because the white color unlike the black color (which naturally attracts light, therefore heat) is able to reflect all the heat which is therefore not absorbed. Not altering the surrounding temperatures. But also inside the building itself!
Curious as a phenomenon, right? Who knows how much this initiative will be able to reduce the temperature and keep it below the established threshold.
