Use of which of the following can help reduce the heat gain and peak air temperatures?

Use of which of the following can help reduce the heat gain and peak air temperatures?
A . A drip irrigation system
B . Pervious paving materials
C . Low albedo paving materials
D . High reflectance roofing materials

Answer: D

Explanation:

High reflectance roofing materials can help reduce heat gain and peak air temperatures by reflecting more sunlight away from the building, thereby reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the roof. This can lead to lower cooling loads and energy use for air conditioning.
