4.3.1 Design Strategies
Shading devices: Deep overhangs, louvers, and screens reduce solar heat
gain.
High albedo materials: Light-colored roofs and walls reflect sunlight away
from the building.

Natural ventilation: Cross-ventilation and wind scoops promote air
circulation and cooling.
Green roofs and walls: Vegetation provides shade, evaporative cooling, and
improves air quality.
