Charges: The iPhone that took this picture

Location: On the roof of the Long Island City, YMCA. Voltaic was privileged to take part in a pilot program for Cool Roofs in New York City. A crew of volunteers recruited through NYC Service painted a portion of the roof with special reflective paint designed to reflect the heat from the roof, reducing cooling costs and the heat island effect in the area. Energy bills and area temperatures (via satellite) will analyze the results.

The press release on the program is here. Thanks to the volunteer coordinator and the folks at Build it Green in Queens for a well-run event.
