- White coating reduces surface temperature by about 20 degrees Celsius.
- Scientifically, colors can stir emotions ranging from joy and warmth to anger and hostility.
- Qatar has also experimented with colorful roads to address environmental issues.
Riyadh : An area of 25,000 square meters around Namira Mosque has now been covered with white coating using locally manufactured materials that absorb less sunlight, helps reduce surface temperature by about 20 degrees Celsius
White coating has been applied in Makkah on strrets Last year, the coating was used on pedestrian pathways leading to the Jamarat area, where the ritual stoning of Satan takes place
The Roads General Authority has completed a project that covers the asphalt around Arafat’s Namira Mosque with a white coating that will lower temperatures for Hajj pilgrims.
Colors Effect the Life :
Interestingly, colors wield a greater influence than we might realize. Colors have their own language . Scientifically, they can stir emotions ranging from joy and warmth to anger and hostility.
Not only do colors affect our psyche, but they also influence how quickly objects absorb or release heat under comparable circumstances. Qatar’s roads are embracing vibrant hues too.
White coating, created using locally manufactured materials that absorb less sunlight, helps reduce surface temperature by about 20 degrees Celsius. Blue color also reduces the temperature of the asphalt by 15 – 20 degrees Celsius..
The high temperatures are created by the absorption of heat from dark-coloured asphalt roads as they accumulate solar heat. Light colour painting lowers the temperature of the road surface by reflecting sunlight from asphalt pavement.
Let’s explore some of the colorful roads in Qatar guaranteed to add a pop of brightness to your day!
