Light yellow and orange background with a white circle. In large, blue text it says, "What is a Cool Roof?" A blue MAPC logo is to the right of the text. In black text it says, "Cool roofs, also known as white roofs, reflect more sunlight than a conventional roof. In doing so, they absorb less heat to keep buildings and surrounding areas cooler." Somewhat large blue text says, "Conventional Roof Reflects 20%." Under the text is an illustration of a light blue house with a dark grey roof. Three orange arrows are going toward the roof, and a light blue arrow is going away from the roof. Somewhat large, blue text says, "Cool Roof Reflects 80%."

Light yellow and orange background with a white circle. In large, blue text it says, "What is an Urban Heat Island? Why Does it Matter?" A blue MAPC logo is to the right of the text. Smaller black text says, "Urban areas experience hotter temperatures than their surrounding areas, forming an "island" of extreme heat. People who live, work, or go to school in urban heat islands are at higher risk of heat illness." White text in a vertical blue box says, "Cool roofs can help reduce the heat inside a building and in the surrounding environment." To the right of this text is a graph illustrating day and night temperatures for different environments: rural, suburban, pond, warehouse or industrial, urban residential, downtown, and a park. It shows that the temperatures are higher in the urban environments.

Light yellow and orange background with a white circle. In large, bold, blue letters it says, "Debunking the "heating penalty". A blue MAPC logo is to the write of the text. In smaller black letters below, text says, "The "heating penalty" refers to a potential increase in winter heating bills since the roof reflects more heat than it absorbs. While this can happen, the savings in the summer months usually far exceed any increases in the winter." Below the text is a side view of a house with a light tan roof. The left side of the house is light blue, and the right side is brown. There is a window in the middle. Text on the blue side says, "up to 10% cooler in the summer". Text on the brown side says, "retains warmth in winter. There are three orange arrows going towards the blue side of the house, and three light blue arrows going away from the blue side of the house. On top of the brown roof are three blue snowflakes. White text on a blue background under the house says, "cool roofs are an increasingly important solution for adapting to milder winters and hotter summers in New England.
