日本語
インドの都市貧困層が住む密集した非公式居住区の建物を対象に、反射塗料型「クールルーフ」の性能不足・維持コスト・グローバル供給網依存などの課題を指摘。4年間で6都市200棟の実証を通じ、屋根・天井の放射バリア、廃棄物由来材料、屋上緑化、水の熱質量活用などを組み合わせた低コストな適正技術型の屋根改修策を提示する。
English
The paper critiques mainstream reflective 'Cool Roofs' for underperforming in dense informal settlements in India, citing maintenance burdens, displaced heat, and supply-chain dependence. Drawing on four years of pilots across 200 buildings in six cities, it proposes affordable retrofit solutions combining radiant barriers, upcycled/biomass materials, modular green roofs, and water thermal mass to match or exceed coating performance.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本企業にとっては、暑熱対策を省エネ・レジリエンス投資として捉える視点を提供する。国内のヒートアイランド対策やZEB改修、途上国向け気候適応ビジネスの材料になり得るが、SSBJや有報開示との直接の接続は薄い。
In the global GX context
While not a disclosure paper, it speaks to the adaptation side of global GX frameworks (TCFD/ISSB physical risk) and to just-transition finance for informal settlements. It offers a grassroots counterpoint to technology-transfer models in climate adaptation finance.
👥 読者別の含意

🏢実務担当者:Suggests low-cost, locally sourced retrofit options for heat-stress mitigation in emerging-market building portfolios.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights need for performance standards and maintenance-aware cool-roof policies in heat-action plans.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Extended abstract 8-167-26India’s urban poor living in dense informal settlement buildings face the brunt of the climate crisis manifesting as extreme heat; an acute case of climate injustice where those least responsible suffer the most. The mainstream technology being promoted ‘Cool Roofs’ (reflective coating) are underforming in these buildings compared to claims based on ideal-condition testing by their promoters. Furthermore their unintended consequences (displacing the heat problem elsewhere – one home’s reflection is another homes’ glare), need for constant maintenance to stay reflective given high dust/pollution levels, high-cost and increased dependence on global supply chains warrant a grassroots innovation approach. The paper unpacks the 4 year evolution of development of a catalogue of appropriate-technology based affordable roof-retrofit solutions for building heat stress mitigation that have been pilot tested in 200 buildings in 6 Indian Cities. The paper outlines technical upgrades to enhance performance of external rooftop and internal ceiling radiant barriers conjugated with night-sky radiation features, enhancing modularity and reduced weight (for ease of assembling & dismantling – in turn reducing fabrication time and cost) and mitigating physical hazard, substituting industrial materials with upcycled inorganic waste or agri/forestry waste biomass, harnessing multiple climate and ecological benefits of modular rooftop gardens/green roofs, and maximizing thermal benefits of the lowest cost, locally available thermal mass material – water, to achieve thermal comfort performance superior or on par with reflective coatings. The paper also delineates the future trajectory for enhancing technology-readiness-level through harnessing multiplier effects of combinations of passive design technologies, other renewable materials (eg. human hair) for insulation, and modular low-cost sustainable active-cooling for humidity control and lower temperature in energy-poor communities.Download presentation.
