Cool Houston! is a program at the Houston Advanced Research Center designed to help reduce urban temperatures through use of cool technologies - reflective and green roofing, paving with light colored or porous materials, and a greatly expanded forest canopy.
The program builds upon several years of experience at HARC with urban heat island issues including projects with NASA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
For information on Cool Houston and other heat island activities at HARC, contact David Hitchcock at dhitchcock@harc.edu or (281) 364-4007.
