This morning's home project: retrofitting the bird-sized eave vents with intumescent, fire blocking vents. Missed a bunch the last time around, only noticed it when I got access to the interior space they are connected to. Wildfire risk mitigation. #diy#roof#vents#firewall
“The team ran a regional climate model simulating the Chicago metro area and three types of #roof: cool (painted a heat-reflecting white), green (vegetation) and solar panels.
[All] three types of roofs reduced the near-surface temperature and AC consumption demand during daytime hours when air temperature is the highest. Cool roofs reduced the near-surface temperature by 1.5 degrees Celsius, followed by 1.2 degrees for green roofs and 0.6 degrees for solar panel roofs.” https://techxplore.com/news/2023-09-roof-material-cool-air-energy.html
