White or light colored roofs reflect heat
Just as wearing white clothes reflects the sun's heat from your body, a
white or light-colored roof will help reflect the sun's heat away from
your home. This strategy works particularly well when trees are located
next to the reflecting surface. Not only do trees provide shade, they
absorb the reflected sunlight for photosynthesis. In the process, water
evaporates from the tree, cooling the air around the house.
