Kimberly Wright's article on WNEM.com posted last July 20, 2013 details the effects of urban “heat islands”. The article mentions several studies conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which prove that urbanized locations are much warmer than undeveloped areas. In particular, its surfaces, like pavement and roofing, absorb much of the sun's heat and release it into the atmosphere, making the air over urban regions warmer over the course of a single day. New Hampshire might be in the northeastern end of the country, but that doesn't mean it enjoys cool weather year-round. Humid and extremely muggy summers can occur, and can be aggravated further by existing heat island effects in a given area. Citizens who can't stand the heat should take the first step in reducing heat islands by calling upon metal roofing companies in Portsmouth, NH, like Performance Roofing Inc., to install cool roofs.
