Desert Ridge Marketplace in Phoenix will become the next testing ground for the Cool Pavement Project, which aims to reduce heat in urban areas.
They will be covering a 63,000-square-foot section of Desert Ridge Marketplace with a cool-colored sealant to mitigate the heat absorption and release in that area.
David Sailor with ASU will be leading much of the study, and he says they're estimating that this cool sealant will reflect back 30-35% of the sun's energy. This means that less heat will stay on the ground and contribute to the urban heat island effect.
