Abstract
While the late 2010s experienced a construction boom, higher cooling demands are making owning a home, running a business, or staffing an office building more costly in ways that threaten to dampen industry growth. It is incumbent upon designers, architects, and specifiers to factor in the costs of rising temperatures, and incorporate temperature-lowering cool roofs into their recommendations. The incentives, as well as the technology to do so, have been steadily improving.
