  • Abstract:
  • The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a critical challenge in modern urban areas, contributing to increased energy consumption, elevated carbon emissions, and poor public health. This paper presents a comparative analysis of two promising roofing solutions—reflective and green roofs—in mitigating the UHI effect by reducing urban heat, energy consumption, and carbon emissions. Reflective roofing systems, which include cool roofs and white roofs, reduce heat absorption by reflecting solar radiation, whereas green roofs provide insulation, enhance evapotranspiration, and promote shading through vegetation. The paper examines the effectiveness of each system in cooling urban environments, with a focus on energy savings, reduction in cooling loads, and the potential for carbon emission reductions. The analysis reveals that while both reflective and green roofing systems offer significant benefits in terms of urban cooling and energy efficiency, their effectiveness depends on factors such as climate, building type, and material selection. This paper concludes by discussing the potential for combining both solutions to maximize their impact on sustainable urban development, highlighting the need for further research and policy support to encourage widespread adoption of these technologies.
