'Team points' are awarded according to the adequacy of the solution with the type of innovations sought by Team for the Planet. They correspond to the analysis of several factors :
A passive and low-tech solution for the protection of buildings and cities against high temperatures due to climate change.
Pre-industrial or industrial stage.
Lever of actionBy limiting the warming of buildings, Cool Roof is an alternative to air-conditioning systems, which are energy-consuming and polluting because of the use of HFC gases whose global warming potential (GWP at 100 years) is 2,800 times higher than that of CO2. Applied in France, the Cool Roof solution allows an average reduction of 25 kg CO2 per m2 over 20 years, i.e. 1.3 kg CO2/m2/year. The potential impact will be even greater if the innovation is deployed internationally. Indeed, the French electricity consumption mix is one of the lowest in CO2 in the world. Each square meter equipped with Cool Roof can thus avoid even more GHG emissions elsewhere: 120 kg CO2e (6.0 kg/year) in Europe, 150 (7.5 kg/year) in the United States, 320 (16 kg/year) in China, or 460 (23 kg/year) in India.
