Large cities are known to have higher temperatures than rural areas(农村地区) in summer months. This extra heat can r 1 temperatures in cities by about one to three degrees compared to rural areas.
Scientists say there are many r 2 for this. One is that heat from the sun can go through many of the building materials commonly found in cities. One such material is asphalt(沥青), which is often placed on top of buildings and used to c 3 road surfaces.
Recently, researchers studied ways to reduce the heat in developed areas. Scientist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research led the study. They found that painting the tops of buildings w 4 could possibly help to cool cities. The researchers used computer model that could tell the effects(影响) of the sun’s heat. They compared the effects of black surfaces on rooftops with white roofs(屋顶). They found that a city with only white rooftops could reduce the heat effect by 33%.
However, white roofs could have the o 5 effect in winter. That is because they have a cooling effect within buildings. Cooler building temperatures in winter could require more e 6 to heat the buildings.
The researchers found that some cities would be helped more than o 7 from white roofs. This would d 8 on the total surface area of roofs in a city. It would also be decided by the building materials used s 9 some materials are less resistant(耐……的) to heat than others. The researchers say white roofs would work best in areas with temperatures and s 10 sunlight all year.
