| | Summary: |
| | The effect of materials on the temperature of the localized atmosphere is a
rapidly expanding research area. Basic research in this area is directed at the color and
composition of materials and their ability to reflect or absorb (and emit) solar radiation.
The color and composition of the materials greatly affects the temperature of the
material exposed to solar radiation. Heat energy from absorbed solar radiation will
eventually enter the surrounding atmosphere, causing localized heating. Smog levels
have also been correlated to temperature rise. Thus, as the temperature of urban areas
increases, so does the probability of smog and pollution. One of the materials reducing,
among other things, the aforementioned negative effects on the environment is white
concrete. White concrete made of white cement is popular with architects thanks to its
pure and uniform appearance. The paper presents the properties of white cement, white
concrete and benefits of using it as an element of sustainable building practice. |
