Green roofs would prevent some heat from entering during the day, but would also prevent the day&#8217;s heat from escaping at night.<\/p>\n<p>Ground level vegetation was found to have mixed results, only offering a temperature difference of around 0.5\u00b0C at most, but with an average of 0.3\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that these green methods did offer side benefits to issues such as insect population and air quality, but purely in terms of cooling homes, they did not offer enough.<\/p>\n<h3>Sometimes the simple solutions are the best<\/h3>\n<p>The research showed that reflective coatings or white-painted roofs, called &#8216;cool roofs&#8217; within the research, was the most effective option.<\/p>\n<p>This method had an average home cooling effect of 1.2\u00b0C, even going up to 2\u00b0C in some areas.<\/p>\n<p>Lead author of the research, Dr Oscar Brousse (UCL Bartlett School Environment, Energy &amp; Resources) said: &#8220;We comprehensively tested multiple methods that cities like London could use to adapt to and mitigate warming temperatures, and found that cool roofs were the best way to keep temperatures down during extremely hot summer days.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Other methods had various important side benefits, but none were able to reduce outdoor urban heat to nearly the same level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UCL research says white painted or reflectively coated &#8216;cool roofs&#8217;
