Heat Island research is conducted to find, analyze, and implement solutions to the summer warming trends occurring in urban areas, the so-called 'heat island' effect. We currently concentrate on the study and development of more reflective surfaces for roadways and buildings. The Heat Island Program is jointly funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). .
