The July heat also draws attention to the major cities of the state, including Dallas, as most affected by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This phenomenon arises in cities where the impact of urbanization turns these cities into islands of heat, contributing to the overall bigger picture of greenhouse effect and global warming. The rise of “green roofs” in Dallas and in other summer-hot cities throughout the US mitigates the UHI effect, and any reputable Dallas roofer with experience in green roof designs can install one such garden in your rooftop. Conventional roofs tend to absorb heat from the sun, whereas the surface temperature of a green roof is predisposed to be cooler than the air temperature. Green roofs are designed to be partially or completely covered with vegetation planted over a waterproof membrane.
