3.4.8 Use of cool colors in rooftops
As mentioned above, the share of electricity consumption by cooling systems in residences is
very high due to the region’s hot climate. Another measure to partially curtail the electricity
consumption for cooling, besides the previous one, is the use of cool colors in rooftops or even
the external walls in order to reflect a higher percentage of the absorbed heat, thus
maintaining the inner temperature at lower levels. Use of cool colors and/or materials is a
technology easily applied on the building, since its use is like any other regular paint.
The energy savings from such an action are usually allocated in the top building floor and reach
20% of the electricity consumption for cooling purposes. The penetration level of this action
in existing buildings is considered to be 10%. ASEZA’s role once again is to communicate to
the citizens the benefits of this action, also utilizing the demonstrative projects and other
awareness activities to be conducted.
Related calculations on the action in terms of initial cost and emission savings are presented
in the table below.

3.4.9 Replacement of single glazing with double/Window shading
A supplementary action with limited but not negligible savings is glazing replacement. In ASEZ,
although summers are very hot, in winter heating systems are required to achieve thermal
comfort inside buildings.
These heating systems consume LPG, Diesel and Kerosene and it is feasible to reduce their
consumption by 15%, by reducing the building’s heating losses via replacement of the single
