NYC °CoolRoofs coating at NYCHA Betances
Sunday, 10 October, 2010 - 09:00 - 15:00
NYC °CoolRoofs will be celebrating the 10/10/10 Global Work Party with New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) by applying a reflective white coating to one of their rooftops in the Bronx. NYCHA residents and other volunteers will join together to complete the coating.
NYC °CoolRoofs is an exciting collaboration between NYC Service, the NYC Department of Buildings and the Community Environmental Center to promote and facilitate the cooling of New York City’s rooftops. Applying a reflective surface to a roof helps reduce cooling costs, cut energy usage and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
