PROBLEM
DARK ROOFS ABSORB A LOT OF HEAT
90% OF ROOFS IN THE US ARE DARKSlide3
OTHER PROBLEMS
HEAT TRANSFER FROM THE HOTROOF
TO THE INSIDE OF BUILDINGS
TO STORMWATER
INTO THE CITYSlide4
OUTCOMES
PREMATURE DEATH
HIGH ELECTRIC BILLS AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMMISSIONS
INCREASE URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT
HOT STORMWATERSlide5
PROPOSED STRATEGY
THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF COOL ROOFS WHICH COULD WORK
THIS PROJECT’S STRATEGY IS TO PAINT ROOFS WHITESlide6
COMPONENTS OF THE STRATEGY/EFFECTS ON ISSUES
SIMPLE STRATEGY
PAINTING THE ROOFS WHITE KEEPS THE ROOF COOLER
THIS KEEPS INTERIOR COOLER, STORM WATER COOLER AND THE CITY COOLERSlide7
SOCIAL COSTS AND BENEFITS
LOW COST
HIGH BENEFIT-EMPOWERS VOLUNTEERS, SELECT BUILDINGS WITH ADDED SOCIAL BENEFITSlide8
ECONOMIC COSTS AND BENEFITS
LOW COST-PAINT AND SUPPLIES
HIGH BENEFIT-REDUCED UTILITY BILLS, LESS WEAR ON AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT AND ROOF WILL LAST LONGERSlide9
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS AND BENEFITS
COSTS ARE LOW-THESE PAINTS CAN BE LOW VOC AND CLEAN UP WITH WATER
BENEFITS ARE HIGH-REDUCED GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, LESS WASTE IN LANDFILL, COOLER STORM WATER, REDUCED URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECTSlide10
SKILLS AND STAKEHOLDERS
STAKEHOLDERS-BUILDING OWNERS, VOLUNTEERS, DONORS
SKILLS- ROOFING SKILLS, FUNDRAISING SKILLS AND PASSION AND ENTHUSIASMSlide11
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
SEASONAL DIVISION OF TASKS
WINTER-ADMINISTRATIVE

FALL – EVALUATION, CELEBRATION, APPRECIATION
INCREASE NUMBER OF ROOFS EACH YEARSlide12

OUTCOMES AND SUITABILITY FOR RICHMOND
OUTCOMES ARE REDUCED GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, REDUCED EXPENSE FOR BUILDING OWNERS, COOLER STORMWATER AND REDUCED URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT
SUITABLE FOR ANY CLIMATE THAT NORMALLY USES A/C IN SUMMER, ALSO RVA IS RIVER CITY WITH MUCH NATURAL BEAUTY AND REASON TO CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
