Case study: Energy Saving Thanks to a Passive Cooling with the CoolRoof Paint

In 2018, Charles de Gaulle Airport (ADP) has taken a step forward and chose to test the concept of saving energy linked to air conditioning thanks to a passive cooling: the cool roofing. A white paint that reflects the sun light waves during sunny periods was applied on the West Pier of the Terminal 2G. Over 1,160 square meter were covered with the CoolRoof paint from the Cool Roof France Company. The application required 10 days and two persons for the preparation of the roof/ coating application.
The coating system included:
- Two layers of base coat formulated with an acrylic based paint
- A top coat based on Kynar Aquatec® latex
