Making Roofs Cooler in NYC

NYC °CoolRoofs is an exciting collaboration between NYC Service and the NYC Department of Buildings to promote and facilitate the cooling of New York City's rooftops.

The NYC °CoolRoofs initiative encourages building owners to cool their rooftops by applying a reflective white coating that reduces energy use, cooling costs and carbon emissions. The program, facilitated by Community Environmental Center, supports NYC's goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, as outlined in PlaNYC - the City's comprehensive sustainability plan.

Cool Roofs is now embarking upon their third season and is slated to coat 1,000,000 square feet of rooftops this year. If you are interested in learning more about the program, having your rooftop coated or in volunteering to coat a roof, please visit www.nyc.gov/coolroofs or you can reach Outreach Coordinator Erin Congdon at 718-784-1444 x187.
