light-colored concrete
Light-colored concrete is a type of concrete that has a lighter hue compared to traditional gray concrete. This color is achieved by using specific aggregates, such as white cement or lighter-colored stones, which reflect more sunlight. Light-colored concrete is often used in construction for its aesthetic appeal and ability to reduce heat absorption.
In addition to its visual benefits, light-colored concrete can help improve energy efficiency. By reflecting sunlight, it can keep surfaces cooler, which is particularly useful in urban areas where heat can be trapped. This property can contribute to lower energy costs for buildings and reduce the urban heat island effect.
