I live in a 4th floor apartment next to a 3-story building with the reflective “energy saving” coating, and ever since they applied the stuff, my apartment’s been about 12-15 degrees HOTTER than usual. Why? Because the reflective, silvery coating is bouncing all the magnified sunlight back up through all my windows. In the summer, we might have to resort to air conditioning the WHOLE apartment (something we’ve NEVER done before). If not, we’ll have to use room darkeners and live like vampires. I can’t believe no one anticipated this, either–save one person energy, make their neighbor use a hundred times MORE electricity. Any energy saved by my neighbor’s building will be offset by the fact that this summer, I will have to use about 10x more electricity than ever before!

Our city mayor met Mr Bloomberg recently at the Copenhagen conference and has returned to us in Melbourne, Australia full of enthusiasm for the Cool Roofs plan to be integrated into the City of Melbourne’s CBD.
The paint used is not household paint, it has been treated to act as a heat reflector
and is such a simple remedy that I can only ask why one of us on this planet didn’t think of it sooner !
I look forward to getting more details about this latest idea and hope the cynics won’t laugh it off as a gimmick of some kind. Give it a go, as we Australians say.
