💨 Abstract

In India's western Gujarat state, 400 households in Ahmedabad have had their roofs painted with a reflective, white coating as part of a global scientific trial to study the impact of indoor heat on people's health and economic outcomes in developing countries. The study aims to determine the benefits of "cool roofs" in precarious housing conditions, where heat exposure is increased due to the lack of insulation.
