Innovative Low-Cost Rooftop Cooling Methods Reduce Indoor Heat Amid Heatwaves

Innovative Low-Cost Rooftop Cooling Methods Reduce Indoor Heat Amid HeatwavesPreviousNext

Two innovative, low-cost rooftop cooling methods have gained attention amid ongoing heatwaves in India. One man used a mixture of Fixit URP, lime powder, and Fevicol to coat his roof, claiming a 15-degree Celsius temperature reduction for under Rs 800. Meanwhile, a Haryana architect employed 7,000 traditional clay kulhads embedded in his terrace slab to naturally insulate his home, reducing indoor heat without air conditioners. Both approaches offer eco-friendly, affordable alternatives to conventional cooling.
