30-40°:
This is the reduction in surface temperature of pavers compared to conventional materials, reducing the need for air conditioning of the home, and therefore being more energy efficient. Studies have demonstrated that cooler surface pavers, often made with light-colored or reflective materials, have a higher solar reflectance, also known as albedo. This means they reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat compared to traditional concrete or asphalt surfaces. Research by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indicates that high-albedo surfaces can reduce surface temperatures by as much as 30-40°F (16-22°C) compared to conventional materials. This reduction in surface temperature not only helps mitigate the urban heat island effect but also improves the energy efficiency of nearby buildings by reducing the need for air conditioning. Additionally, cooler surfaces contribute to a more comfortable pedestrian environment and can extend the lifespan of the paving materials by reducing thermal stress.
